Wings

It's not you,

I promise.

Blame it on these wings I have grown. 

Almost full length, 

Magnificent but melancholy. 

This nest I love seems crowded now. 

It's not your fault, 

I just take up more space than before. 

I will find the way,

Navigate this convoluted path. 

Because of you I know how. 

So don't worry,

Because of you I will fly.

There are two types of poems. 1) the ones you drop after the first line. 2) the ones that you want to read again and again and this is the 2nd one. Good job :)

the bitter sweet of realizing when to move on, acknowledging that things were learned but greater things await...this belies a complexity, the convoluted nature of our beings. well said.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Well have someone who inspires and gives us courage,,, and there is no greater feeling then being that inspiration for another.

[Matching Socks]

There is a subtle hint of sadness but I love the strong inspiring ending.
Not everyone is perfect for us, but we can learn something from everyone.
Well done.

[Bare Trees]

This is described so well with a tinge of sadness. Beautiful poem.

Beautiful.
It manages to find a balance between sad and happy, depressing and hopeful and the result is simply beautiful.

Wow! Thank you so much, it means a lot for you to review:)

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This story is heartwarming. It has a bitter/sweet feel to it,
but I left feeling as if I had received a gift.

Thank you very much, it absolutely does contain bitter-sweetness, it's exhilarating to start your own journey in life, but also a little sad to end the chapter of your life spent with your family. Thanks for your review:)
