 Wings to fly, An awesome expression of a person. Sad that we feel burdened and forget to employ them in flight.It would give the uplift when blue resonates the day!

Nice way of registering truth about mundane issues.

The rhyming couplets set up a great cadence. Using We are born with wings to fly was a magnificent refrain. It kept the poem focused and meaningful! Peace and blessings Mariaki and have a wonderful weekend in you lovely paradise. Shelly

Yes ... it's this ...

... difficult balance, not drifting into fear but, still be aware signs of hardship without running away -

- a great poem ... wings, yes, a symbol for so many possibilities of using our strength to come further on our life path and, as you say: being arrogant makes the wings fade -  - genio

Mariaki
I see you’ve figured how to embed a pic!  You’ll have fun with it now.  Yes… those wings we’re born with sometimes get broken, or dusty, or tarnished, and sometimes we even forget we had them.  Isn’t it a shame (or a waste or precious time).

How beautiful - and how sad. I felt the disallusion.
