Descent to Earth
Descent to Earth I am Impossibly soft and delicate, as I flutter and float into An all too brief life of my own Time is suspended for just a moment As I enjoy my freedom From the bird, and the wing I am Held gently in the air, As the world, my only world, stands still For an eternity Then I am taken By the soft currents of the breeze My delicate passage, as I fall And flutter to the surface Of the Earth And I settle And I rest
This absolutely stunning poem was sent in by Jane to include on the blog. I am bowled over by the gentleness that Jane has captured and the evocative words. When I read it I could literally see the feather floating down before me. This ties in with this week’s creative writing theme which will be all about air and movement…..watch this space! I hope you like the photo’s that accompany the poem, they are of a beautiful barn owl I was lucky enough to meet.
What a beautiful and gentle way to start the week.
With best wishes,
Emma

A lovely poem. I needed to be lifted to the air thank you. Even though this poem is called ‘Descent to the Earth’. I feel the light air in it. Being connected with this blog and nature and other people’s poems helps me to experience the outdoors with new wonderment. Thank you Jane and Emma.
