The feather can sure tickle your ass if you can't fly, you've got it all written down in ancient animal skin and I hope there's an ankh template symbol and a scarab cut out of Egyptian hieroglyphics to rid the imposters. The Great Beyond to a sage wears like a cartouche, Kate...

I call it a rhapsody of hope sung by the soul of the narrator out in open boundless fields of imagination and spirit where one's ass truly can fly, and fly, and fly, and fly. So there's my shilling's worth: may that feather rise and go to it:-)

Ha Ha Ha I didn't expect that wind blown ending but it sure fit in with the thoughts you were expounding on. Great longings expressed with such beautiful metaphors; now if I only had some tea leaves for you to read.

You two?? I keep a feather and a dalmation stone with me all the time. We poets rely on the spirits all around us to keep our words aflight.
I'm glad my own ass isn't the only one with HIGH expectations. You go girl! I love the wit here.
