Oh lord, revive thee child It is you that gift the visions The swirling of the feathers Cloud my days with your inspiration My gratitude for blessings so small Such as paper and pen But this world, imprisons me I am the purple canary Trying so desperately to trill Each lyric of my composure As the wind blows east I try to afford my perch Lest I sit in rusted redemption I'm afraid For I am beginning to courage The thoughts of wing play But what will I do If my hand can no longer feed But scribe My heart is warbling weary Hen pecked with my mind Why must my cage be spinning Giving me constant glimpses Of everything I want to pen I pluck my own quill I bleed my own thoughts Still, I cannot break free My hue is slowly fading To yellow |

Dear Regina, you sound lost in your own thoughts, drowning in the ink which should be captured onto a page. I see that you write much more than I, the words will come with patience and the rhyme with come feeling. Be well and please don’t be too down, our time is too short. Rick |

morning.... read this and admired the imagery and the flow so much..I wondered how it is we feel or can feel as if we are fading..our hues and words changing from bright. I realized it is the subtle in us all..the small things changing thatt at times make us feel like we are losing more..You dear lady..have not faded words here.. this is a very nicely written and very good piece of work... I do so enjoy reading your words...I hope they never fade from these pages.. |

Regina, you could never be anything but a purple canary. Yellow is just too ordinary for you  Your words always touch me. Dee I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |

Regina You are certainly a master of your craft as you weave your words so well. This piece was touched with sadness but so beautifully written, as usual. Take care......Sue Suetang |

This in its self is a cleverly written poem. I don't see where you have lost even a feather. Throw your heart out in front of you |

Catalinamoon: Because You are so good to me! Thank you Sandra! Rick: Such a kind soul you are. I will be okay. Just have to sort out my bird seed! Courage is what I need. Thanks so much for being here and your wonderful support! Cpat: I appreciate your reply deeply. To never fade would be a dream. My reference to yellow was....cowardly...ordinary.. I guess. You all make me feel much different than that and I am so grateful for this forum! And for YOU! Dee: Thank you so much. That is my fear. Ordinary! If I ever want to do something major with my words, ordinary would never get it. My gratitude to you! RSWells: Thank you Richard! I'm so glad you think so. I appreciate you! Sincerely, Regina |
