I am deserted

lonely blackbird in the sky

a single feather

slides across my line of sight

a sign of impending change

(desert or deserted) by One Single Impression.

    Thanks for this, Pam.

    I am wondering where that feather came from….

    Lovely poem… the feather of hope (or that’s what it means to me). Love your photo too. Your prompt has certainly birthed a good deal of intensity around the OSI community and pushed our creativity.

    This was great! I felt drawn in by your words. Succinct and beautiful.
