I just wanted to fly

malubotelho

The tears begun to fill my eyes and the warmth of it reminded me of the sun rising and casting it warm light to the earth.
I then had thoughts of desire of flying high. To catch the sun and surround it with stretched arms. I asked God if I could fly. By all mistakes being made before, God broke my wings, so I could not fly to hell.

    HELL IS NOT WHAT WE ARE AIMING FOR

    • malubotelho

      Definitely not. This is why God broke my wings.

        you don't need wings to fly malu. ive done it and I don't have wings. it has something to do with gravity.

        Good writing Malu, as usual, but the ending surprised me. I thought you wanted to fly high, but for hell you have to go the other way.

          Sorry, I should had writing an explanation to it. That is; one day I was sad and thought to myself I should leave everything behind and go live somewhere else. I went outside to see the sun and begun to cry. So I wrote half of this poem. The next day I went to work and I fell and broke my arm. Then I could not go nowhere. It came to my mind that it might be God not letting me go because I would suffer a lot if I've had gone. So I wrote the rest of the poem.

            Thanks for the explanation. Now it makes more sense.

            I suppose i feel this poem in a metaphorical sense in the very least.
            The wings will come in time.
            Great poem!

            • malubotelho

              Thank you. Thanks for reading and commenting. And yes, it is metaphorical.

              I am so happy that you cant fly to hell because Heaven is your home along side all of Gods beautiful people. you are one of those beautiful people and a beautiful poetic writer also x

                Thank you so much Kevin. This is not new writing. Just found it on my notes.

              • malubotelho

                Thanks Robert. I think anything that makes us suffer is hell. This is why I was grateful somehow that I had that little accident that broke my arm, other ways I would had committed a big mistake.

                I see the wings being used here metaphorically in this great message - nice one Malu.

                • malubotelho

                  Thank you Michael. I appreciate you reading and commenting. The responses always bring me the idea of having more responsibility with my writings.

                  We need reminders like this for at times we would all want things not so good for our future - a fine piece of imagery which set many thinking including myself - - thank you for sharing your experience dear Malu and I hope that broken arm is healing too.

                  • malubotelho

                    Thanks Fay. Yes, sometimes we get desperate thinking a big change is what we need but I believe that in my case having that gap on my life, having to accept the fate of an accident that made me stop and think was the best for me. Hard for others to understand. Thank you always for reading and commenting. You are such a talent with your writings.

                  • burning-embers

                    I read in your response to FredPeyer about the circumstance of this pieces origins. Maybe god was telling you he wanted you to continue your path in your present location. Sometimes it difficult to believe there is a 'hell' anyway.

                    • malubotelho

                      Thanks B/A. Yes, I understood this way. Sometimes the answers for your questions are only a feel days ahead but we have no patience to wait for them to come. That was a great lesson for me.

                    • Renzi

                      I believe everything happens for a reason, your wee poem is a great example of that ♡

                    • malubotelho

                      Thanks Renzi. It is funny how your life turns around. Thanks for reading.

                    • malubotelho

                      Thanks Jane. The first part were written one day and then the next day I had the accident and wrote the other part. It is a sequencial thought.
