You have to try and see her

 
When you are broken bring yourself
back from warm despair
by bathing
on edge of whispered streams
and brittle rivers
there next to the running water you
may  find that out of your deep
breaths falls a
a platinum veined feather

that smells
Like tiger-lily pine tree hybrids



The feather will lead you
on a  journey to find the god it belongs to


You won’t have to look far
She’ll be waiting nearby
And when you look at her
Her face will welcome you
Invite you to open yourself
 To the privilege of help
Of flight, 
the joy of air, and
the melody weightlessness
her own softness is bathed in wisdom.
And it all balances on a throne made from the silk
woven by
nymph born seraphim
and dusted with fallen stars
her smile looks like laughter
and when she's open 
the fire of every yesterday
dances behind her blue-gray eyes

She’s a bird of experience
who holds her own as
a woman of youth
She’s a dream blessed in
whole notes and flat chords
she sows deep medicine in the space between
the beats that
Float up from moonlit high tides
of panic

If you find that feather
And you bring it to her


She will sense your light
And turn it on.

Glory will take over you
and you will leak the shine
from the new tears born
in your eyes
