Paper Wings

A boy folds paper cranes with wishes, only to see them come alive and fly

By Akmal95JrPublished about a month ago 1 min read

He folded paper cranes daily,

whispering tiny wishes

into each delicate fold.

His room filled with colours,

floating hopes stacked gently

on dusty shelves.

One morning, the cranes vanished,

leaving only soft breezes

fluttering the curtains.

Panicked, he rushed outside

and saw them soaring

through the pale sunrise.

They carried his wishes

higher than he ever imagined,

reminding him that possibilities

can take flight

when courage finally lets go.
