Why not call the
moment of certainty, the fleeting moment
when everything that ever lived is right
behind my pounding heart, why not call
that moment: Beat-of-the-thousand-wings-
of-God-inside-my-chest.

Raining cats and dogs here (and birds). Still night at 5:40 am. Perfect words and gif to clear the way.

Yes, and then ask it to stay until we’re winged — or at least for a full minute. 🙂 Lovely musing/offering. Have a wonderful day, DK and everyone!

This is über-beautiful – I just love that tender heaving of the bird’s chest…. and that poetry – unravels me (in a good way).

Have just sent it to a friend who I felt, needed it. With a French translation…. went well. But I find myself ubable to come up with a poetic German translation. Must work on it.
