Please Have the Eyes to See

Please - when I can no longer-
with my companions-
Catch the breeze
And lift, lift, lift-
Glide and sweep-
Glide and sweep
Across the skies.
When I can no longer fly -
Please have the eyes to see my exquisite beauty
Laid out before you as never before.

The feathers are a bit worn and fragmented, much like life itself. The pale colors connote something washed out, not quite the vitality it used to be. However, the feathers are overlaid on a map, that suggests that there are further voyages ahead.

The poem is simple but lovely. I don't quite see that it compliments the photo, though, as the feathers look like they've been discarded and are no longer able to "soar the skies."

Damaged...discarded...imagine the stories they could tell. Perhaps I will expand the poem to include this idea. Thanks Dianne.
