When I See A Feather (Brittany’s Poem)

When I See A Feather (Brittany’s Poem)

By Nicholas Wilkinson

Emily said,

“Hope is a thing with feathers”,

but what else could she know?

About things perched deep within

that blossom, pulse, and grow

For when I see a feather

my heart, it skips a beat

A message sent just for me

so perfectly replete

To dance or glide and flutter,

upon a mighty wind

And to sow the seeds of hope

much to the world’s chagrin

The shadows of yesterday

find grace, light, joy and bliss

No longer trapped and spellbound

by Serpent’s wicked hiss

For when I see a feather

it’s carried in my heart

Taking root it feeds my soul

nourishment for my art

Whispering ever sweetly

a message kind and true

And when I see a feather

I’ll know it came from you
