The Feather | Lynn Long
Once upon a cool
spring breeze
A feather flew with
grace and ease
Gliding along without care
The feather sailed into
warm summer air
Over oceans and
mountaintops
The feather drifted
without stop
Autumn brought
a gentle rain
Amid melancholy
winds of change
With wistful hope
of being found
The lonely feather
fell to the ground
Alas, landing where
the heart does lie
Gently admired-
let free to fly
The feather learned
a simple truth
One he lost
somewhere in youth
For life’s journey follows
the path within
Ever-changing to
begin again…
