The Quill’s Feather

By my soul
so very long ago
she took me in her pink-white hands,
and bade me write, strand by strand.

Dipping my tip
in the blackest ink
she put her thoughts on paper fine,
feelings that she shared were partly mine.

She knew not
my feelings when
her liquid feelings flowed from my pen,
knowing I would write for her again, and again.

She took time
putting to black line
her deepest passions left unheard,
except for these here, her written words.

Penmanship
extraordinaire
writing with beauty, grace, flair,
keeping her loving words safely here.

When feelings
became warm
she would clutch me tighter, then,
the feather at my top would quiver when

She caught
her own gasp
at the lines of devotion she wrote down,
feelings of love she would within drown, drown.

Those were
the times best
when quivering feather laid to rest,
for love’s passion had met passion’s test.

(smiles) It too always amazes me if we can just keep our quills on the papoer for a long period of time and just writing aay, only to behold the passionate illusions we create on paper and wonder "Did I really create that?" (big hugggssssss) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, your quill always shines like the sun, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

There's no one with personal handwriting prettier than yours.

This I believe was meant for you to have, as it should be.
This piece was simply so graceful, and well, just so you!

Beautiful poetry from a beautiful heart. Loved this today, Lady.

It takes real talent to bring a pen to life!

Yep! Tickle me with a feather,
You put Sunshine in all weather
And uplift the spirits of everyone
Who reads your work before the day is done.

Getting late and I'm getting silly but I did want you to know that I enjoyed this sensitive and elegant poem.

Sunshine:

a wonder it is
when quill reaches for ink
to give words a life
yes! they breathe, yes they think!

For they touch something wonderful
deep and locked from within
it is a honor and pleasure
of your words: to give in!

Great layout and perfect word-bonds,
Sunshine! mmmm the moment is yours!
