In trail of Feathers
24 October 2015
The sun felt hunger
For the skin on my forearms
Its texture and touch
I hid in the ice
Cooling me in peace restored
Forgetting the sun
Its hunger clamoured
Reaching out to me in ice
Clad in my winter
Knowingly I plunged
I had shed clamours of you
Nightingale behind
The bird mutated
It grew blue from my traces
My sky-bound agent
Shrill it pecked at Heart
Its beak robust though so slight
Spent through ice cracking
.
Eyelids fluttering
Awoken from my slumber
Open Eye I kept
In between noises
I heard your distant sharp cry
But kept Heart in check
I know of a Soul
That drifted in oceans’ stares
Growing stark and bleak
Unbroken always
Backward loop kept me alive
Time will not come back
Diverging paths watch
Heavens choices can be read
In trail of Feathers
I stilled Hearts and Minds
A moment of Peace and Love
Pondering choices
.
