A FEATHER
A feather in the air - landing
in the grass - me wondering
where it came from.... Was it
in the grass - me wondering
where it came from.... Was it
from a bird soaring in the late
afternoon sunset? Or was it
afternoon sunset? Or was it
part of a chief’s headpiece
or a society lady’s latest hat?
I noticed its silent soft landing -
a feather in the grass.... Well,
I'm wondering where I've been,
my landings soft and silent,
my departures loud and hard.
Looking back will I ever be
able to put a feather in my cap?
