This Wing
This Wing
Do not mourn
A flight well flown
Do not take sorrow
In many a traversed continent
The view of a thousand castles
Passed beneath this wing!
Weep not
For a glide that
Encompassed nation
Upon nation
That saw many a sunrise
And sunset
Over the turquoise seas
Piercing the transparency
Of this wing!
Don’t be sad
A thousand butterflies die each day
No one sees them
No one hears their stories
No one knows
Of their glides
Of their pilgrimage
They die unknown
With stories untold
But this one
This one is different
The fallen wing tells me
Of many a sea crossed
Many a nation hovered
Many a continent conquered!
I see the rays of sun captured in its veins
And the marks of evaporated raindrops
This is a story that is told
A journey unforgotten
One in a thousand
Butterflies
Will not be forgotten
This wing

No other single object has inspired me so much, as this one broken wing! And I think, that even in its death, this butterfly has given beauty! I have created so many works of art, thanks to this one little blue, broken wing! An entire collection! I'm overwhelmed by the inspiration that I have received from this small, inanimate thing! Which goes to show, that a wing is always a wing; no matter if it is broken or fallen or forgotten!
