Soft scraps of synchronicity for
patchwork of ancient meanings
appearing in unlikely places
working universal messengers
like conduits of sacred power
comforting symbols overlooked
or forgotten in our own time
Incredible feathers as emissaries
with ephemeral grace for you
and me to discover from nature
as harbingers of inner truth
to be heeded when one seeks
you out for enlightenment

~Contemplation of meaning for just
such a recent appearance of a feather
coming to me inspired this poem~

No matter if it is speech, sign language or a feather...communication can be in many forms.
You communicate well!

Enchanting language that wraps magic around me. I especially love: "....harbingers of inner truth/to be heeded when one seeks/you out for enlightenment. " More feather poems, please. :) ~~ Diana

Any communication requires a sender, a message and a recipient. You fulfilled the requirements here with this intricate, complex piece. Lots of interesting phrases and imagery.
Many a lovely thing can come to you for this...
It is up to us to decipher what we are being told...
In particular at the moment of the appearance...
Then can we truly understand what is being communicated...
Beautiful and depending on your mood at the time of it's
appearance the message should be clear :)
Ah yes, the feather. You write so eloquently, Vivian, and if I needed proof of that this poem certainly is proof. But there is everyday proof in the way that you take a subject, bend it, twist it . . . You are profound.
