A 'thank you' to other poets who inspire me with their poems, to ideas I might never have gotten otherwise.

White feathers falling

White feathers falling,
When an angel flew close by;
There's nothing up above us,
But I saw him, on the sly.

White downy floaters,
Floating on the sea of air;
In a single eye blink,
I saw him hovering there.

Souvenirs of miracles,
Signs and wonders too:
He knew he lost that feather-
And he said- give it to you.

This is just so touching and I felt it has such a deep and meaning and powerful message in all its beautiful softness. I believe in miracles too and when we love unconditionally this is when we have them. Love Karin

This is a great way to say thank you to those who have inspired you. I think you might have inspired one or two or more other poets with this verse too. Just like you have with all of your other writing.
