Dream Feathers (A Nameless Poem)

now and then
birds shed feathers in flight —
and just like that
we release our dreams
into the endless blue sky

The poem was created on August 10, 2024. The visualization based on the text comes from the cyber intelligences DALL-E and Microsoft Designer.

Dream Feathers is a metaphor comparing our dreams and hopes to the feathers that birds lose while flying. This poetic merging captures the essence of our life’s journey: just as birds naturally and often unnoticed shed their feathers, we humans, over time, let go of some of our dreams. Both happen, at times, involuntarily.

The Birds (Poem)

at last it is night
to the stars you birds—now fly!
but they are long asleep

The poem was written on December 22, 2023. The accompanying images were created by DALL-E (AI).

This haiku-like poem skillfully plays with the contrast between human expectation and natural reality. The initial anticipation of the night and the enthusiastic call to the birds to fly to the stars collide with the simple truth that birds sleep at night. This contrast can be seen as a subtle critique of human hubris or as a reminder to accept the limits of our influence on nature.
