i found a bright red feather once just sitting on the ground i tried to find the bird that made it but all was empty save the sound i used to run with my new feather pretending i could fly soaring high above the clouds getting lost in just the sky then came the fearsome day when i really had to try had to beat my arms against the wind had to leave the nest and fly i started off with trembling hope that all would work out right and often I would catch the wind and soar from noon till night often though i have fallen have gone screaming to the ground too often there's been no one to even hear the sound the other day I found my feather it still shines that crimson hue I keep it near, close to my heart though the story I'll share with you i still pretend i fly the skies there's not much i can do cept clutch it tight and smile for that what Dreamers do " and I dream of her always, even when I don't dream. her name's on my tongue and her blood's in my stream."

Soltice Son: I like your poem and your red feather too. Dreams are wonderful, even when they don't come true. I keep a heart-shaped rock in my pocket. It's my talisman, since there are no red feathers to be found! Betty Lou Hebert |

SolticeSon~ Oh the special feeling of touching the child in us all~ I also have a feather that has special meaning to me~ I am known by the Cherokee name of ~*Willow White Feather*~ ... it was said by my great grandmother that when the elder chief was to give me my name ... a white feather fluttered to his feet ... thus he picked it up and said that I would have the flexibility of the willow and have the purity of thought to soar on white wings~ My great kept the feather in my baby book and presented it to me when I turned 12 ... I've kept it since~ I've often thought it prophetic of the quill with which poetry is born~ Well ... your write certainly set me to a babble .... thank you for the reminisce~ Enjoyed the write very much~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I keep forgetting to take the door that's allowed from the Open Forum and venture into the Corner Pub...but when I do, now and then, I find keepers such as this! |
