Feathery Strokes

The sun was warm and hazy
as I lay on the beach
My mind was feeling lazy
as thoughts flew out of reach.

I gazed across the ocean
and wished that I could fly
To leave behind emotion
and soar towards the sky

I closed my mind and drifted
within a soft cocoon
the hands of time were lifted
to take me to the moon.

I plucked a silver feather
and held it in my hand
I flicked away bad weather
just like a grain of sand.

No more ingrained emotion
of why, or who or when
the feather swept the ocean
then turned into my pen.

    Lovely...


    Twenty lines of lovely rhythm and singing voice made this a poetic live flower diffusing scent of art and beauty.

    The closing stanza was pure "AU-Bullion"... (LOL)
    for the coffer of the readers' mind, and for any banker that wants to be richer.

    In admiration,

    Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

    This is a lovey write full of imagery. The rhyming was natural and very suited to the theme of the poem. Rhythmic.
    Good luck in the contest!
