Listening to every heart

I Will Shed You Feathers

They say those that have crossed over leave a little way
to give a keepsake of themselves each and every day
to those that will really listen, who suffer, feel and hear
hearken closely to my plan, what I shall do for you, my dear…

I shall for you shed feathers, daily, one by one
in the darkness of the night to be seen in daylight’s sun
I shall leave them all around, and when you’re very blue
you shall see, there lies a feather, and know I’ve thought of you.

I shall loose for you a feather, and recollect will spark
when you pick up chestnut feathers of the lovely lark
hear then there the trills and notes of its favored song
and not miss me for a moment, but instead, just sing along.

I shall shower down a feather, before your feet shall lay
a reminder that I was here to start your every day.
Angels all around me, shall shed their feathers free
just so that you might know that you are here with me.

So when you see a feather lightly settle down by you
validate my love, my dear, know that here’s a clue
I shall stroll beside you, and find you in your nights
When you see shed feathers, let them be your guiding flight.

*hushed silence* That was one of the most beautiful things I've ever read.

Well this is sure a lovely idea, but I know if my angel left me feathers, it would be a reminder to "get inside and dust my house" (and dang I have a time out again Karilea so can't leave you a smilie either lol) - I give up!  Isn't it fun to write on pictures?
