Nobility
An urchin ran into a mansion by accident
Was dared and dazed by the magnificent
Until he came across a snow white feather
Dancing in a vase, free and yet sedate
He was stunned, beside himself
forgetting about the world
He woke up in his paddy field
Planting rice shoots 3 hour on end
Without looking up, he closed up an egret
Frozen, he held his breath lest he regret
Not even blink he stared the moment
What austerity What chastity!
That was his first enlightenment
What is beauty and what is nobility

ANGELA HERE - Good Morning AROBOT - Thank you for a very stimulating POEM to wake up too ! A Feather is a beautiful example of Creative Form & Function. Every species of BIRD has its own specific set of Feathers to enable it to play its part in the AVIAN order of things - BUT - a single Feather can fill us with Awe & Wonder. Manmade artifacts fade into olivion. Im always collecting Feathers - each one is a miracle. Thanks for sharing. Beauty & Nobility are in the Eye & Heart of the Beholder - Enlightenment - AMEN !
Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS !
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey !
