Notes About The Poem
Feather Life has it's moments You know, good and the bad But some of the best times I've ever had Are those when I've stopped At the side of the race And taken a breath Felt the sun on my face. For the people that rush, And yes there are plenty, Are the fools being chased by a life that is empty To stop and face fears That you're missing 'the next' Will keep  you from being Confused and perplexed My story is such I can testify this.. There's a peaceful encounter A place to find bliss And it sits in our hearts Somewhere way deep inside But to find it you stop, rest and Step off that ride Like a feather it settles Bringing purpose in beauty So our eyes see the wonder Of those things that were blurry. It's the secret of stillness It's the hope in our hearts It's the sapling that rises From precious seeds planted Way at the start. And I cannot be stronger With my words to you now.. There are times when life's storms Cause the strong trees to bow. But in stillness and presence We learn quietly how.. To eliminate hurry And be present to now. Jinjagoliath 29th October 2020

Feather

Feather 

Life has it's moments
You know, good and the bad
But some of the best times I've ever had
Are those when I've stopped
At the side of the race
And taken a breath
Felt the sun on my face. 

For the people that rush,
And yes there are plenty,
Are the fools being chased by a life that is empty 
To stop and face fears
That your missing 'the next'
Will keep  you from being
Confused and perplexed 

My story is such
I can testify this..
There's a peaceful encounter
A place to find bliss
And it sits in our hearts
Somewhere way deep inside
But to find it you stop, rest and
Step off that ride 

Like a feather it settles
Bringing purpose in beauty
So our eyes see the wonder 
Of those things that were blurry
It's the secret of stillness 
It's the hope in our hearts
It's the sapling that rises
From precious seeds planted 
Way at the start. 

And I cannot be stronger
With my words to you now..
There are times when life's storms
Cause the strong trees to bow.
But in stillness and presence 
We learn quietly how..
To eliminate hurry
And be present to now
