Soft words were spoken

yet clipped wings need time to heal

dark corners beckon

Margherita

Is that one of your feathers falling from the heavenly blue? If that be true, I be dismayed.

All your feathers should be aloft with gentle breezes and not fall into dark corners.

If you need some added love, I'm sending some your way.

I'm glad that there were only soft words

spoken and not angry ones Margherita But don't stay in those dark corners too long,

You're too nice a lady for that, Take care

Thank you all for your kind and loving comments on this one.

There are some dark moments every now and then, but I always find the way out into the light again. A special thank you to dear Linda and dear Lindsay, I am fine, your words comforted me.

Love,
Margherita

Not quite living in solitude, still got the kids and if they slam the door hard enough the snow falls off the trees. Nearest neighbor 10 acres away.

I think if you changed "heal" to "mend" or something like that, it would be better and the 17 count would be correct... I understand it's a language thing...

much love Sis

Thank you dear Karen and dear Dale for coming in here and commenting so kindly.

Dale ... "off the trees??!!" now that is some mighty power! I thought "off the roof"! I can't make up my mind with the wicked two-syllable "clipped" wings thing!! "cut" would be too drastic, they couldn't heal anymore I guess? (btw they are healed by now, so it's better I don't insist on finding a solution to this syllable problem). Thank you anyway!

... still thinking ...

yet clipped wings heal slowly

maybe ...
