Fine Feathers, Fine Words
Here is my whispered wish,
made on a single feather.
The ideas of the builders
of bridges conferring closely together,
their compatible heritages
stated on many levels.
An infusion of goodness,
held in common,
nurturing seeds of enduring character,
watered with the sweetly sprinkled scent
of rosewater and berries.
Both sides holding up their end
of the social contract,
learning from the energy of swans.
All people, thoughtful,
exclaiming love,
such a power in the world,
prescribed, prized,
glowing brighter than bioluminescent
algae.
A final testament
to the practical use of the heart.
