LIKE A FEATHER
LIKE A FEATHER,
FLUTTERING ADRIFT NOWHERE.
LIKE A FEATHER,
DROWNING FLIGHT MAY END ANYWHERE…
LIKE A FEATHER,
LOVELY IT SEEMS TO BE;
LIFE SPENT SO FREELY,
IN ABSENCE OF SECURITY.
SMOOTH ON ITS SURFACE,
ROUGH ON ITS SURVIVAL;
A FEATHER-LIKE PALACE,
IN AMBIVALENT CARNIVAL.
AS CUPID GOES ON AND ON,
TWO HEARTS SETS AFIRE;
A FEATHER-LIKE BOND,
EMBROIDERED BY DESIRE.
LIKE A FEATHER,
DROWNING FLIGHT ENDS EVERYWHERE…
BUT UNLIKE A FEATHER,
CRASH-LANDING LEAVES US NOWHERE!!!
