still I can fly (thank you Brownlie, Volaticus, and Billy)

[Brownlie]

I'm going to edit your poem a bit I hope you don't mind. Also, birds (especially wounded birds) are prominent symbols in Chopin's The Awakening.

I’m an odd bird,
with one wing
To guide me.


Rustling leaves on my branch
shake my foothold.
I am sightless Sightless and shadow convey the same sentiment
I would sweep swaths of light across the - I would sweep swaths of light is pretty good I love yearning
dark .

I’ll fly away
chiming like a bell -- I like this line but I don't know if it is too clichéd or not
when the dawn ignites the sky.

I think the part at the end about having a voice can be expressed better by showing an action.

I rather like my edited version, but that may be because I had a hand in creating it. I thought you had some good lines but superfluous language could be trimmed.
