the spiral & the feather

the beauty is beyond measure

and the power is beyond each and every

so what happens to that spiral

what happens to that beautiful mind

to cause the hurricane within

to erupt into inconceivable pain

we must learn calm

& practice kindness

& teach peace

to nourish the mind

and heal the heart

oh, dear babies and teachers

please, ask for Amelia

she is waiting

she will gift you her feathers

and will show you how to grow them into wings

to then fly over your homes

and begin to hide them in plain sight

to begin to heal

to love

to find peace

to soften the pain

and we will pray, truly pray

and think, kindly think

and work on this earthly spiral in your loving memory
