 This is for Dear Sheila h who is a gifted writer.

 

On the boulevard of memories

Crossing a silent zone

A flock of white birds

Dropped feathers on my shoulder

Intermeaning the sequels of past.

 

 

I brushed them immediately

But one tiny quill got stuck in my collar

She was exquisite, soon she was rescued

Now she lives in my diary, forever

Each day her silver touch inspires my imagination.

Small moments of events often make us think of the past and the same part of that we save can often spark a pleasant remembrance, especially when that remembrance is of someone we loved.

I normally don't suggest an edit, but I think the words Intertwining would fit better than Intermeaning.
Marge H. Mar 17, 2008, 3:52pm EDT
How lovely and touching!

What a tribute. Beautifully written.

Gifts as small as a feather unite us with the creative force at work in and around us, if we are wise enough to see them as you have.
t b. Mar 26, 2008, 7:54pm EDT
This is just lovely Bhawana, thank you.
Laura M. Mar 27, 2008, 9:40am EDT
So, so lovely, this poetic embrace of angelbreaths,
with a spiritual bond formed with enduring love
and intimate daily reflection. I save feathers whenever
they appear in my path, but there are some, like this, that
come closer to stay forever. My finest friend is an artist
named Nickki....we also exchange our feathers along with
our finest thoughts and love. Thank you....this is beautiful and
enhanced perfectly by the painting.
sheila h. Mar 27, 2008, 12:10pm EDT
stopping here to give you a big hug and kiss..you lift me up and turn any sadness to a quickly forgotten memory..
thank you again..you astound me with your capacity to care and love all..
like Ghandi..
