Lord of the feathers,
do not dampen my pinions
as I cleave the air.
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
You spit in the dirt
to keep my heart from straying,
yet I drift away.
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
Tremble on this ground,
for it is consecrated
by ten thousand tears.

    That second one is powerful and quite often true.

    The last poem is moving enough to be on a memorial.

    It is ground that is sacred and strong enough to walk upon over and over again.

    The entire set is lovely. 🙂

    “consecrated
    by ten thousand tears” … Nice.
