Gazes That Matter

Sun drops carried off a shimmer release
warm the ruffled feathers now at ease
vivid velvet streaks felt gone off to teach
encumbered minds emerged out of reach
 
Roll near edges steep tiny spirits lay lost
shells speckled form a wayward bed of moss
chestnut pecks of care nurse anxious eyes
as attentive gazes that matter touch the sky
 
Free in flight a curious soul seeks her way
guided the path filled forging a glory day
held tight life lessons of unrequited love
starving eyes open to whispers up above
