Wings

When life tries to break you, wings are what we hope for.

Painting by Malak Mattar

 

 

She made broken look beautiful
and strong look invincible.
She walked with the universe
on her shoulders and made it
look like a pair of wings.

 

poet Ariana Dancu, capturing sort 
of how I hope for myself.
