Waltz of feathers

Come lie down

On my planet of feathers

In my perfect town

Of lavender pleasures…

 

Where my heart eats only raspberry wishes

Planted on the gold whispered fields

Served in ebony dishes

That have walked the augury hills…

 

There, at the top of the tallest tree

The Masters harvest the recipe of love…

A magic blend of the alchemy’s tea

And some dust from the stars above…

 

Some drinkers of this concoction die

Others dance…

Others aren’t willing to try

And give it a chance…

 

So what can a lone heart do

When souls walk in tribes…

Searching for a shinny proof

In a city with no lights?

 

And if you don’t have the answer

Knock on my planet’s gate -

My unintentional, feathery dancer

For the wind of  fate.

A wonderful piece of imagery that had me absolutely captured in awe :) You really have a talent with words and Nature..a Wordsworthy piece indeed! This piece was captivating, and its font was really soft, further embellishing the gentle touch of this poem...there is a hint of existentialism present in this poem, and it is symbolised by the waltz of feathers subconsciously. A lovely read :)

On top of the exceptional word choice and the ability of vivid captivation; I absolutely love the perspective of congregation of fellow feathers who, as well has felt the side effect of the ever sought after concoction. A kingdom of fellow feelers.
