A young soul can only bear
as much weight
as their soul weighs
… Which is as the weight,
of a single feather
But an old soul weighs wholly
and can bare much more weight
… Which is like the weight,
of the whole bird
So when you find a strong wing
to shoulder your burdens
You have found an old soul,
which are hard to find
For they have only returned
long enough to teach
So listen with deep intent
and with your spirit wide open,
For if you blink or falter
they will surely fly away
… Before you can pluck
a single feather
They are protected
by earthly vibrations
Purple light surrounds their spirit
and their hearts
They are blessed by the Great One
And can give divine messages
to ones soul, as the hawk
Few are they in numbers,
for most have chosen
to stay in the light
Brave are the ones
whom are here to visit
and to touch lives
Although they can fly away,
their compassion holds them
Their parallel barbs hold solid
to their quills
Making their feathers strong and pious
And can comfort us greatly
in our desolation
Watch the skies;
look into the rainbows to find them
For they are but one measure away

Hood-Winked!
Where you have 'bare' I think it should be 'bear'... apart from that this is a wonderfully touching poem
I really like the way it flows so well from one part to the next, and your imagery is lovely
Keep writing

Wonderfully penned, loved the idea on the whole...and just loved the second last ending stanza, as if added a whole lot of dictionary to the song...Loved it, thanks for sharing.

There are a few old souls walking the earth. They are hard to find. Most people are lost i think.
