Swift Wings Poem by Sandra Fowler

Swift Wings

Rating: 5.0


Swift wings are tipped with brief poetic gold.
Luminous flight sustains its fragile self.
The moment is as rare as a May frost.
Small glitters are enriched with their own charm.

The wonder of that appalachian gleam
Paints the bird's image on your window glass.
I think you understand the mood is now.
It has no will to ever come again.

The golden quill sustains the fragile but luminous self – and like the Appallachian, gleam painting birds image on the window glass paints word pictures

The flight of existence seems to have taken off for the last time with a rather new ambition. The poem describes the self-sustaining objects that have nurtured throughout the life long processes.

The wonder of that appalachian gleam Paints the bird's image on your window glass. I think you understand the mood is now. It has no will to ever come again. It seems that a journey is to end and a journey is to begin. All metaphors and images indicate that the bird of life is ready to take off for good. Sandra my friend, I don't know how to express my wordless feelings but to me its a sad poem. Best Regards Naseer
