A bird without wing
I am assuming you are getting this from the Poem "Dreams", by Langston Hughes. DREAMS Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow. This line is a metaphor, explaining that if you give up on your dreams, you have very little to live for to look forward to, and life is meaningless. It of course does this by comparing this life to "A barren field/Frozen with snow"
