no choice but
giving
into silent past
forgiving
bringing
the end of my
grieving
learning to fly
on silver wings
you had lent
to me

Normally, the Centus is a 100 word essay or story based on a word prompt. Well my dear friend, Ms. Jenny, decided to throw us a curve ball: a 2 word prompt and limiting us to a measly 25 words. This is what I came up with on my break at work. The prompt, as always, is in green

Polly, This is so touchingly beautiful, cuts gently and lovingly to my very core. The truth is always strong.
"grieving

This phrase especially inspires me. A new way to look at my many losses. Thanks.

This is a really lovely and uplifting poem, and with so few words. I'm impressed.
Very little words...big sentiment!~Ames

Learning to fly is so hard, it is soaring that proves we can go on.
You know the Shakespeare quote you left on my post? Well, back atcha, sister! That quote is one of my favorites!!

So lovely, beyond more words to say so here....
You poured a lot of meaning and heart into those measly 25 words. Excellent job!
I love this piece of free verse...One should fly even with borrowed wings.
beautiful and heartfelt. loved the wings reference
Dear Polly,
You take ordinary words and give them wings! I hope your work comes out in book form one day. (Or do you already have a collection published?) You are so gifted.
It's nice to visit with you again. I have had very little time to blog since February. I'll be moving to a new apartment in July and am trying to do as much of the preparations for the move myself. So I am behind in my comments.
Best wishes,

Ah, lovely! It's always good when we learn to fly again, even after our wings have been clipped...:)

This made me cry.
A wish I have for everyone chained down by regrets and unable to let go of the past.
Fly. Fly free!
Absolutely lovely Miss Sister.
