poetry I have written: 'Feathers'
Feathers
I went to be in that special place where warm water covers me, my heart was crying tears for an innocence never freed.
Once the tears were shed till dry and the room was quiet again, I saw in the candle glow the shape of a feather end.
While I watched with wonder and awe I saw another one appear, it was white and pearl-shaped like a silvery tear.
My pain began to ease away when I heard a soft voice say, "don't be afraid to cry when your feeling that way"
Then I saw the fire burn bright on the candle in front of me, another feather shining all around helping me to see.
"We feel the moisture of your tears and we know the pain you feel, but the tears we cry are feathers you see, and they land on your shoulders to help you heal. Because the scars deep within your soul and keep you strapped to the ground, the feathers are to help you fly away and hear our Heavenly sound.
