When I first started this blog, I wasn't sure about whether I'd post poetry of my own. Poetry by others, more than likely will find its way into posts here and there, as do all those wonderful quotes that I love so much.
I had thought to create a completely separate blog for the specific purpose of posting my poetry, and will probably end up doing that very thing soon. This morning, though, I read a friend's blog and a piece of poetry that made me think perhaps some of my own work along those lines fits the dynamic of this blog. In that thought, below is a piece that I wrote in August of this year. I shared with friends on Facebook and via email, with the response being that the message I intended was clear and appreciated. I hope those that read it here enjoy it as well.
Feather Touch
I saw a feather on the ground today
soft velvety gray in the morning light
as quiet as the new day unfolding
prompting me to pause
flooded with memories of childhood
find a feather, know an angel sent you a message
yet deeper thoughts and emotions assail now
what message is this?
what quiet touch drifting down to greet me
silvery gray touched with the palest creamy brown
stillness in the muted color
reaching out with a hushed blanket of intent
quiet your mind
Hear Me
the message is clear
swift pass the moments of reverie
images painted on the mind’s eye
floating delicately to rest
a brush of promise
Your path is sure…
…doubt not the steps
in a calm quiet breath
the faint thread of a smile
and I continue…

Healing Morning is a space to discuss those indefinable moments, topics, thoughts, that allow us to grow on a spiritual, personal and, I hope, global level. I hope to remark upon holistic healing, spiritual concepts, and stumble upon topics that inspire, intrigue and push us all to regard life in a different manner from having read what is posted.
