Frail feathers feebly fall
like snowflakes snaring the soil’s soul
Of crippled critters seeking a savory salvation
with wings clipped before taking flight to a starlight sky

Though flightless, they point their beaks upward,
seeing themselves soar like arrows through silent skies.
Have a thing. Written with no coherency, with no music, nothing but the murmurs of voices outside my room and the buzzing of a computer.

It's brief yet elegant, and eloquent, and I love the alliteration (as I naturally would). You seem to be saying you wrote this to no music, but it feels like it has a melancholy melody of its own...and you know, sometimes there are images like these that flash through my mind and get fixed there, expressing everything I don't know how to put in words...but with this one, it looks like you managed to capture what you imagined.
