Meant To Soar

Feathers, meant to soar
    propel their bearers evermore
  gliding, coasting, turning over
    Acrobats, sky-high rovers  

  Sadly though, some feathers fall
    float to earth, their curtain call
  Prithee, pick them up
                       by yonder willow
    finished weeping ~ sequestered pillow

This is beautiful, and the feathers that have fallen may yet lift another's heart to fly, when we follow the paths of the the Dove <3 I'm sorry, you have me deeply pondering this beautiful write Gershon! I am setting it in my treasured faves. I love this so much!
