Feather - Day 56

in #poetry6 years ago

My grandaughter @intelligenteagle gave me the idea of writing a poem about a feather.

A single silvery white feather acrobatically meanders through the air
-And tickles my inner being.

As I hold it against a baby blue sheet sprinkled with wisps of cotton
-An aura of peace surrounds me.

Golden rays saturate its opaqueness highlighting the beauty
-And gently hug my soul.

Lightly running my fingers down the delicate barbs coaxing them to let go
-My mind marvels at the intricacy.

Smoothing them together again in a single motion
-My thoughts takes flight.

My eyes scan the horizon hoping to find the aviary donor
-As gentle breezes whisper illuminating secrets.

A sparrow serenades its lover and places another plume in her nest
-As I sense the bigger picture.

So I return the Creator’s treasure to Mother Earth’s sky stream
-Savoring this layover blessing.

A bird's feather can bring a sense of pleasure to the touch.
The fingers delight and momentarily we forget the world around us.

wow, these words sure brought the feeling of peace and calmness.

A sparrow serenades its lover and places another plume in her nest
-As I sense the bigger picture.
