The Feather and the Perfect Stone

A feather, maybe it was an Angel's Heaven sent
Millions of them on the wings of birds
Which fly around the Earth (Carrie spoken word)

Seagulls and Sea recorded in Brighton by Jules (Julian) Franks

I found a feather on the beach, like a mystical event,
Propped up between pebbles, maybe it was an Angel's Heaven sent
I sat down contemplative, and held it in my hand
Ingenuity in every cell, an enigma to understand

A fragment of the Divine, made by an unknowable creator
So perfect in every way, a part of Mother Nature
Millions on the wings of birds that fly around the Earth
All miraculous, like the wonder of our birth

I looked out at the grey misty morning sea,
Feeling the lapping waves, as if they arose in me,
A magic moment of both gentleness and ease
My face kissed and caressed, by a tender loving breeze

Chorus
If we would stop look and listen to what is really near
Dissolve our fear and anger, be full of joyful cheer
The Universe supports us of this have no doubt
Wisdom hidden, Nature, let the secret out

I closed my eyes and saw a light, a fullness in my head
Expanding in deep stillness
I touched the Golden Thread
I looked into infinity
In a stone picked from the beach
A gift given freely
I saw what Nature had to teach

I walked mindfully up steep steps, from the sea to the street
Each moment was precious, and savoured as a treat
Absorbed within 'Oneness' no longer on my own
I felt the beauty of the Cosmos in the heart of a 'Perfect' stone

I walked to my home, through streets filled with cars
Then looked above at a flock of gulls, circling toward the stars
My being transformed in a state of unknowable Grace
Heaven met the Earth, a smile spread across my face

Chorus
If we would stop look and listen to what is really near
Dissolve our fear and anger be full of joyful cheer
The Universe supports us of this have no doubt
Wisdom hidden, Nature, let the secret out

Let the secret out, Let the secret out
Let the secret out, Let the secret out

Absorbed within 'Oneness' no longer feeling on my own
I felt the beauty of the Comos in the heart of a perfect stone

Let the secret out, Let the secret out

My being transformed in a state of unknowable grace
Heaven met the Earth a smile spread across my face

I found a feather, a perfect stone
I found a feather, a perfect stone
I found a feather, a perfect stone
I found a feather, a perfect stone
I found a feather, a perfect stone
