“Maybe late afternoon is autumn; summer’s retreatnot being archived, but suspended, as the featheredvane of a bird wings its way across the avenue.”
“Maybe being winged means being wounded by infinity.”
“The butterfly startled at Mary’s gesture and floated up, drifting on the breeze, its wings sparkling blue and bright in the late afternoon sunshine.Silence watched it, enthralled, and then her eyes met Michael’s.A corner of his mouth cocked up. “Welcome home, m’love.”
“If you hold a bird too tightly, you'll crush its wings”
“I used to think a bird couldn't fly if its wings got wet.”
“Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wings and removing its ability to fly.”
