-
You burst into a thousand glistening feathers
As your soul shot up to the sky.
They flew all over, directed by the wind.
Into the outstretched arms of those you left.
There is an infinite amount of feathers.
An infinite amount of lives you touched.
From something as basic as a smile in a hallway
To the complexity of helping those in need.
The feathers range from grand to small
But they all have something in common.
They hold a brilliant radiance
that cannot even be described by human tounge.
These feathers catch your falling tears
And tell you in an echoing voice,
"Though physically she is gone,
Carry me with you.
And she will never disappear from us
You are not alone.
She is watching."

- Description: Last month, a close friend of mine, Lyla, passed away. I think about her constantly, having lost her life at the young age of 16. This poem is dedicated to her and everyone she knew. Please read it and tell me what you think. How i could improve it. What wording works better for certain phrases. What do you think the poem means? What was your over all reaction? Etc.... I'd really love your input. Thank you.
