Once wings have been broken

Isaiah 40:31 

31 But those who wait for the Lord’s help find renewed strength;
they rise up as if they had eagles’ wings, they run without growing weary,
they walk without getting tired.

 

Broken

 

Once a wing has been broken ... can one ever fly again?

Really as high I mean ... as originally designed

But if one never left the ground ... but only did pretend

What will that brokenness be ... when not really defined?

 

Can’t one serve in walking ... can one’s life be dry?

Is not flying only set aside ... for birds and not for man?

What is than the motivation ... for me trying to fly?

Is it not just to prove ... that possibly I can?

 

If I try to achieve the things ... not set aside for me

am I not in will ... surpassing my given limitations?

Is not motivation ... that binds or sets me free

and can be used at times ... as a self-made foundation?
