feathers

feathers sit silently
resting naturally on a bird
as she flies in the direction of her choice

slow soaring or hurried racing along the sky
as her feathers come for the ride

she sings songs of peace
happy in the knowledge that feathers will always be there
listening and feeling every movement she makes

feathers are the outer covering revealing inner light
silver shining moon weightless in sight
strong in the darkness

light furry feathers rarely fall away to the ground
just ilke the moons tendency to sit still in the breeze and wind

from below there is nothing shifting in humanities eye's
we look at a bird travelling the sky and what do we see
flapping wings or flapping feathers?
a determined pair of wings
feathers the passengers in flight
