Mighty Flickering Fight Have you ever picked up a feather one of those dark crow feathers of rough and tortured quill fallen fallen into the dusty driveway and thought of the cry of the crow like laughter that woke you on a Sunday morning just as the sun snatched the last fragment of night and opened the trees then from the window’s captured view appeared the flighty fast finch and its exuberant dance around the head of the crow like a crown of thorns this small bird seems the heart of what is brave for I see the power of love is as churning wings to show me how to gage my thunder such is what I would be for this mighty flickering fight fills my morning in awe.

Beautiful Martie, with such strong imagery...perfection indeed. *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ |

Good Poem you seem to find a lot meaning by observing small things from the imagery you build. It suggests an inner silence you posses good meditative poem |
