Madonna Smile

A Madonna smile,

sun lit water droplets

her jewels,

downy feathers

her garment

of humility.

Splash

Splashing out of the past,

Illuminated grey, black, orange & white...

Wings at just the right angle.

An Ordinary Mallard

An ordinary mallard

transported to angelic realms

in a snowy reverie.

Bluebird

Bluebird,

as you fold

your wings,

the wind rustles

your feathers,

your mind is still.

Singing

Singing the song of plum & lilac,

Suspended in a glistening moment,

Balancing on the edge of nectar.

Grief Flying

Reaching for the unknown

with open water

reflected in our eyes.

Grief flying our wings...

each muscle burning...

Burning sorrow

into flight.

 Wizards Awakening

Wizards awakening

Flashes of red and black

Stirring the heart

With collective fervor

And the call of wisdom

Landing 

Soft, milkweed feathers

inner feathers,

a seashell 

in the air.

Keeping Good Company

Lumious feathers,

The soul~reaching kind...

and an eye 

that keeps company

with the truth.

Feathers & Dreams

Feathers & dreams

softly listening

to the heartbeat of the tree...

ensouled in its rough bark.

To Be Broken Open

To breathe in the morning sunrise

to be broken open

by the music of its glow...

to dance

in the fire!
