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
