From a buzzard

Taking off

 

I see a feather

Floating down

 

I rush to catch

A gift from the sky

 

Still warm from the body

It lands in my hand

 

My heart is lifted..

Would remind of a creature we can't touch! Rhiannon

This made me feel quite emotional, the gift, the still warm feather. Never ceases to amaze me when someone can capture something so perfectly in so few words. This is a prime example. And since it is my job to choose Pick of the Day today, this is it! Do share on Facebook and Twitter.

Really flattered by how you described how it made you feel.. And very chuffed that its Pick of the Day.

It actually happened a while ago when I was out walking my dogs, and I kept the feather.

I agree with onemorething- you have captured a moment of connecting with one of nature's best beings and in so few words, you've made your point and feelngs known. Well done and well deserved POD.smiley

When a feather drops into your hands, an angel is watching over you.
