Fallen
Reed Gauthier

An angel lies
fallen.
Her once golden hair
now faded.
Her flowing white dress
now tattered.
And her celestial wings
lie frail by defeat.
Feathers of her right wing
wilt like a dead rose.
Each feather drifts back and forth
reaching dead earth.
The world around her,
chilled with cold avoidance,
Offers no help for the
fallen.
You can't take flight
with only one wing.
