Feathered Wing
Feathers are miracles of life sent to us to bring wisdom and joy
Contoured feather on a hollow, slender vine;
Perfect barbs, hooked in parallel lines;
Exquisite symmetry, Nature's finest design;
Form and function, the miracle of wings that fly.
A two way, planar plane, glossy and glistening;
Waterproof, lightweight, precisely positioned;
To rise, to fall, to trap heat through quivering;
Fluffy clusters to sleek wingtips, gifts of Creation.
Famed feathers of every feathered wing;
Wing, contour, semiplume, filoplume, bristle and down;
Tail feathers, flicking, flaring, sounding the alarm;
Carotenoids, melanins, porphyrins, coloured calm.
Find a feather, fallen plumage, take it as a sign;
Indigenous wisdom fluttering down from your spirit guide;
Connecting you to Earth, to Heaven, ancestoral love divine;
Nature's miracles inspire us, to heal and similarly align.
