Angie's Poem
Created by Julie 9 years ago
This is a poem I found on Angela's iPad after she died. It was saved in her 'notes' on November 20th 2014 but there was no trace of where it had come from, no email attachment or Facebook message, no name or clues. We don't think she wrote it herself (she never wrote any other poetry) but it contains very personal references to porridge & white feathers which are things that were important to her. We would love to know who wrote it or whether Angela adapted it from an existing poem - we have searched but not found this poem anywhere else. If anyone recognises it or knows anything about it please let us know.
Listen, can you hear me, I'm there you know....
I am but a single white feather waiting in the wind
Catch me in a glimpse of your eye as I swirl about you
Busy taking in the beauty that is there
Swooping swiftly down to you
I am the light on the horizon as you look out to sea,
That little tiny glimmer that radiates out to thee
Twinkling there for just you and me
Like my eyes do when they look and see......you
I am that morning glow coming from low mists on the hills,
Creating a spark of warmth inside to start a new day
Like the porridge, steaming hot in the bowl
Filling you with strength and nourishment that I would love to give
I am like the diamond that glints in the soft white snow
Fresh, pure and with a twinkle, I’m ready to go
Laughter, echoing in the wonderlands of silence created
Listen, can you hear me, I'm there you know....
I am the soft autumn light on the ripened grain in the fields
Shimmering and sparkling, just waiting for the right moment to yield
Ready to burst forth, plump and tender to the touch,
Like a squishy big hug, always there for you all, those I love so much
I am there as the sun goes down, to put a smile on your face
To spread warmth and comfort in the times ahead
Be happy for me that we had these times to treasure and when you see these things remember me forever.
I will not be far away, don't search, I pray
I’ll be around you in your day to day,
I'm not these things of nature’s beauty
but I treasure each one so there's your duty
To look out for me in the things above
and I hope to bring a smile to those I dearly loved
