This Feather

I release this feather
To the wind and gods grace
It carries the tears of my heart
The ones, I can’t replace

Two tears for your love
Twice, cause you left in two ways
One, for all the lost letters
And another, for the touch you took away

Good speed and fare thee well
Go free with the wondering winds
Please search the myriad gardens
Where you’ll find a heart and love within

I release this feather
To the wind and gods grace
It carries the tears of a heart
For that day, you walked away.  

James Parker Haley  May 9, 2002


...and the old black rums got a hold on me
...and the old black rums got a hold on me
...will I live for another day..

(big hugggssssss) This is so sadly beautiful, sweet friend, I know how hard it must feel to say goodbye yet the way you expressed it here was very touching and I know both you and her will find true happiness out there and together you will be friends always and celebrate what you found together always! (smiles) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Parker darling boy again your writing is outstandingly beautiful in its form it’s utterly utterly breathtaking in its beauty. Your heart is truly in this, I love it utterly utterly. Sometimes I swear you write with starlight, this is one of those times

Perfect darling heart utterly utterly perfect. And yes I love it utterly

Love and warm stuff
As always

Corinne, thanks sweet poet. All is well.

devina, thanks you.

bsquirrel, thanks.

dg, yes I've noticed that missed connections can be very good for my muse if I let them, and yes also hard on the heart strings.

Wow! I love it when your muse isn't cooperating. Beautifully done Park, my friend.
