Clustered Angel Feathers
Strolling through the park one bright and sunny day
A lovely sight captured my eye
And so I turned and strolled that way.
As I approached a wondrous vision
Which never had I seen before
My steps grew small, my eyes grew wide
Til steps had stopped, and eyes could simply grow no more.
_______
Clusters here, clusters there, clusters big and small
Finding my feet I got real close
And stood among them short and tall.
Reaching out my hand so slowly
Then stretching out one frail fingertip
I felt the glory, I felt the love
My heart knew then, in heaven they began their trip.

And there we have it, so thanks for reading and we’ll see you again. I’m off now to do my own reading, which reminds me that I wanted to tell you guys (and girls) just how impressed I am with all the great writing all you bloggers are churning out these days, and actually that’s one of the reasons that my own writing may seem a little intermittent at times. I’m so enthralled with what you people are putting out, well, you get it I hope. So kudos to all of you, and I’ll see you in a bit when I’m commenting on your pages. Until then…
Those are simply magnificent. I wish I could come across something like that. Most nature anything here is polluted water based since i live in a big city lol.

Well, I don’t know if you would call Vancouver a small town with a couple million residents,but I do know what you mean. There are those mornings when you can see what your breathing, and that’s never very appealing. I’ll be popping over your way in a bit to see what goodies you have on display, so fair warning, O.K. Thanks for the visit.

Someone has since suggested to me that they are called Boston Ferns. I’ll have to check on-line and see if that checks out. Thanks for the visit.

They are so beautiful. In every light. But especially loved the evening sun in it!

Your poem so perfectly captures the wonder of beholding these beautiful “Angel Feathers”. I don’t know what these lovely grassy plumes are called, but I too feel that they are heavenly sent. A wonderful series of photos to go with your lovely poem. Wishing you a very good evening! ~ Jeannie

P.S. I think this beautiful ornamental grass might be pampas grass.

That is certainly a good possibility, because they don’t really match the Boston Fern suggestion I was given earlier. I’ll certainly check it out.
