Secret
The diamond she wore
Sparkled with bright rainbow hues
But her heart was dark
internet photo
And other poetic verse:
It rose from the ground in a silent protest,
unable to resist.
against the white of its self,
turning, swirling,
wrapped in the embrace of its captor.
The gentle breeze,
tiring of the game,
brought the down feather tenderly to my feet,
a gift of nature.
I watched in whispering silence
as the softness settled in the grass,
the breeze passing by in search of another tumbler.
And I felt a sense of peace.

FEATHER
I watched a soft,
white feather
lift and twist in
front of an unseen breeze.It rose from the ground in a silent protest,
unable to resist.
Catching the sunlight
in its warm center,
the feather briefly
reflected soft, rainbow huesagainst the white of its self,
turning, swirling,
wrapped in the embrace of its captor.
brought the down feather tenderly to my feet,
a gift of nature.
I watched in whispering silence
as the softness settled in the grass,
the breeze passing by in search of another tumbler.
And I felt a sense of peace.

Happy Weekend to you!
The diamond and the feather both reflect rainbow colors. However the diamond leaves her with a dark heart while the feather brings a sense of peace. Sometimes simple is best.

ReplyDeleteI have so many accolades for you today. First, I love your header! Is that your painting? It looks like your style. Your paintings make it look so easy, but we can never copy anyone, because each individual soul infuses the work with its personality. If it makes me want to go there, then it's a good painting :D
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of woman is that; with such a big, beautiful diamond and a dark heart? Maybe gazing into the fiery facets will reflect some light into her depressed spirit; or, maybe returning the diamond to the unwelcome suitor will brighten her day!
You have penned such beautiful personification in "Feather," and I like the free verse, and the free-wheeling feeling of peace that carries the reader along the path with the feather, to the end.
Thanks for visiting my very delayed blog, It has been a chaotic time. I may get in once a month for now, but i peak around at others as i can. Thx! L
