Rooted Wings

flying close to the ground

Rooted deep

Wings flapping in the breeze

The pink ladies slipper orchid smiles

So close to the ground and grounded in beauty

I found you there hiding behind a tall oak tree

Or did you find me wandering and lost

Some days I am so perplexed

I too have rooted wings

Buried in a long past

Glued to the present

Searching for a

Future

  1. After reading your poem the tiny orchid looked like a face with wings behind him.

  2. Beautiful words to fit a wonderful photo. I hope those glued wings will become separated and set you soaring.
