Paper-Thin

I flap my wings, once, twice

I feel their fragility, paper-thin

A gust of wind sweeps past

As I traverse across the wondrous world

Then suddenly my paper-thin wings

Abandon me, leaving me

To surrender my paper thin body to the winds

And I watch as my body sweeps back and forth towards the ground.

As my eventual demise approaches,

My sole regret is that

I have been unable

To give my paper-thin wings

To they who wish to see the world.
