I Will Shed You Feathers

They say those that have crossed over leave a little way
to give a keepsake of themselves each and every day
to those that will really listen, suffer, feel and hear
hearken closely to my plan and what I shall do, my dear…

I shall shed feathers for you daily, singly, one by one
in the darkness of the night to be seen in daylight's sun
I shall leave them all around, and when you're very blue
you shall see there lies a feather and know I've thought of you.

I shall loose for you a feather, and recollect will spark
when you pick up chestnut feathers of the lovely lark
hear then there the trills and notes of its favored song
and not miss me for a moment, but instead please sing along.

I shall shower down a feather, before your feet shall lay
a reminder that I was here to start your every day
angels all around me, shall share their feathers free
just so that you might know that you are here with me.

So when you see a feather lightly settle down by you
validate my love dear, and know that here's a clue
I stroll beside you daily, I am still with you at night
now think of these shed feathers, let them be a guiding light.

Your words are one of much inspiration and I love the way you coax one to read your little message in most of your works....a very good messenger you are and it does not go unnoticed.....Beautiful write my friend simply you.

A wonderous way of thinking about how our love ones should remember us...someone very close to me would love to read this...I think I shall show it to them.  Truly beautiful and inspiring work.

Karilea~

And of the feathers I would find
One that you had left behind
Feather strokes in poet's ink
Dip of quill in poet's think


*You make this a nice day.

Mark, titles do help pull one in, thank you for noticing...and for your kind words...

LoveBug, thank you for telling me you've been touched...

jwesley, you've touched me as well...

Marcy, I received your special note, and noted it special indeed...

Krista, your inspiration has fed mine, as well...

Bustem, I've been known to pluck a few heartstrings, thank you...

Marge! Where else would those quilled pens of passion come from, if not from angel's wings?...thank you!

Nan, thank you. I didn't know you had any favorites of mine, but that this might be one of them pleases me.  I'm not as pleased as I should be over the entire piece...perhaps I didn't percolate it enough...do you have any suggestions?  KRJ

Karilea,
You know what?

I am planning to collect money to buy a huge bill board that says

"SUNSHINE - YOU INSPIRE ME EVERYDAY"

till that time and even after that time these words are and will be forever etched in my heart...

regards,
sudhir

Karilea---I have been rendered speechless...ask my hubby, that doesn't happen often!!!  This is simply beautiful, such a perfect reminder to be left.  I do hope you don't mind if I print this, it will bring peace to many I know.  Bonnie
