just one feather

for those who long for more than what we see…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scanning the sky for angel wings

and other wispy sacred things

to see beyond what life can bring

or cry and for my days I cling…

›

More than dust or caustic wind

more than fragile bones to mend

such dreams my heart longs to transcend

from frosted feelings I ascend…

›

In nineteen worlds beyond compare

I sense ten thousand hallowed stairs

to take me far beyond despair

astride a weeping silver mare…

›

One tranquil day I wish to see

beyond fragmented tapestries

in a world beyond the golden tree

just one feather…

Beautiful writing Craig - I long to see more one day. I'm one to not fear death, I have been spared a few times to say the least and I'm still here enjoying life.

Its a daily walk... But oh how I long to walk them stairs.

Thanks for sharing brother

Hope rings through, echoing from incredible words; such intense emotion, a beautiful work of the spirit's highest art.

[Angel Bird]

A uniquely beautiful poem that unites every human emotion and creates a wonderfully positive and illuminated atmosphere. Yes there's much more to life than meets the eye, and only when heart and mind look into the same direction we can see new doors open and show the way to the hallowed stairs ...

---just one feather... of an angels wing... and I'll know to find my way...

A shining chef d'oeuvre!

i was blown away by your poem. it was filled with this mesmerizing elegance I've always found in your works. Another great work from a great writer like you!

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Such a soft poem.. reading it gives me a feeling of hope .
Very softly written it is for me as if we should be hushed into silence.
I sense some mystery in this verse:

"In nineteen worlds beyond compare

I sense ten thousand hallowed stairs

to take me far beyond despair

astride a weeping silver mare…"

Far beyond despair upon a silver mare.. what a beautiful image and thought and hope to hold to .
Beautiful poem, good for the soul.

Beauty crafted in few words
Bringing booty to these birds
Special raiment of this kind
Finds us flattered into mind
