PETALS and FEATHERS
Symbolising paradise;
signifies birds and flowers:
say roses, lotus and
apple blossom:
to fly amongst, lay or tread upon,
savouring softness and scent;
spring-time in orchards and hedgerows
- gardens galore;
wildwoods carpeted with bluebells,
alpine pastures dotted with edelweiss and gentian.
Shoals of tiny multi-hued fish
and marine coral anthozoa,
that symbioticly mimic or camouflage each other,
creating underwater Arcadias
that waft and drift in watery-scapes as the fuzzy edge of dreams.
