The Wall

Between the walls
the cells
and the outside world
precious life
is at stake
How to fly
with only
a single wing?

very very deep poem, a rare image, an enigma how to fly with a single wing. Great job. Shanazar

Beautifully expressed my brother, Freedom so close you can taste it...but in time the wing clipped by incarceration will mend and set you free. Stunning! ! ! *10* Your brother Jon

there is some truth in that there is a soulmate somewhere for everyone... trying to find the other half... each with a single wing... if one is lucky or destined to find that soul mate..each will have two wings.. to fly.. to...touch the beyond... , , , , , , , , , wish that each find its soulmate... in one life time...

No question of flying...for single wing is no wing...but the single wing in the poem symbolizes the unabated desire for flying on to the outside world... A super poem piece. Perhaps the best to have come out from you in recent days, Sulaiman! Ten

Flying with a single wing is imposible...but there are things hidden to the naked eyes which flying makes it real...Angels helps us fly high, above the mighty walls and mountains. Found my soulmate...hope he'll never leave myside! ! ! Cate
