A Feather Floats
Light falls amongst light not a shadow's might
blown past the day but with tepid winds
graceful as a feather floats
down in silence
beheld nearer a beauty rests
before bent visions
held in check from a sultry sea
breaking where fragrance parts
It dwells in storied touch
lain across ancient ways but
still held taught
when sumptuous lips unite
and stagnant thoughts float free
as if the feather in the wind
was one again
with me
blown past the day but with tepid winds
graceful as a feather floats
down in silence
beheld nearer a beauty rests
before bent visions
held in check from a sultry sea
breaking where fragrance parts
It dwells in storied touch
lain across ancient ways but
still held taught
when sumptuous lips unite
and stagnant thoughts float free
as if the feather in the wind
was one again
with me

Tim, This took me there, where beauty dwells naked and free freed of all things humans crave of all things vain.

I always enjoy watching a feather on the breeze with a mixture of emotion. Free floating seems lovely, but the feather has no control over it's destination or descent. It's trapped on the breeze and at it's mercy. It sure is lovely to watch though

This is beautiful. Brought sweet memories of a love I once knew back to me.
