I Asked The Nightingales' Feathers Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
I Asked The Nightingales' Feathers
I went in search of nightingales' feathers.
Collected a few from the nest of nightingales.
Kept those near my bed and went to sleep.
At night i dreamt...
the nightingale feathers
began to singpeaceful,
loving melodies.
It was a lullaby which
the angels alone sing.
Happinessentered
into my inner recess.
Then i went
to the feathers to ask:
" Where from flow
such wonderful melodies
into your hearts' core?
The feathers told me:
"We have the songs in our beaks,
we have the songs in our hearts.
We have the songs in our brain
we have the songs in our wings.
To sing and to sing and to sing
is our benevolent vocation.
We sing to the melodies
of heavenly inspiration.
That is our life.
Joy rings out in our souls.
This alone is our divine call.
We love to live our divine call.

A Nightingale: "Will you be my Nightingale? Please sing to me, I know you're there; bring me peace; sing me to sleep with your sweet song..."Pinterest)

Though it is a fictitious experience, I can fully feel the joy of such a happening! If a nightingale sits by our side and chants melodious songs to put us to sleep, it will be heavenly! The Nightingale here is endowed with the gift of music. Who ever uses the gift for others benefit and enjoyment glorifies God from whom each one has received his special gift! A lovely poem.
