BIRDS – Feathers of inheritance

BIRDS

Feathers as inheritance

Wings to fly, to rise above the weight of being.
Each feather is a whisper of freedom etched into the air.

We carry within us a longing, the deep human urge to soar toward unknown skies,
to escape, if only for a moment, into a world made of wind.

Feathers, portals lifting us
from the burdens of the earth into the realm of the divine.

They speak their own language.
Each color, each curve a symbol: purification, protection, peace,
still remind us to stay grounded even as we rise.

Feathers, linking the earthy to the spiritual, the present to ancient ritual.

hidden violence behind beauty, of feathered hats and cloths in fashion,
made from the silent deaths of countless birds.

Or feathers revered, not consumed.
A headdress worn by chiefs, notables, and initiates,
dances with dignity in ceremonies and funerals, obeying the sacred rhythm of ancestral law.

A memory of flight, a symbol of spirit, a story suspended in air.
