As Light As a Feather

The gurgling of the brook
Daisies swaying on the bank
As light as a feather I am, to look
Problems tossed with the stone that sank

The wind chime music, playing light
Jingling in the soft breeze of air
As light as a feather, I take flight
My mind is floating in ways I care

Clouds travel above me in the sky
Moving in patterns to see
As light as a feather, I watch them go by
Dreaming of places I want to be

Soft Dandelion seeds circle in wind from flowers
In an open field, where I am free
As light as a feather, like soft rain showers
In a ballet dance between each tree

As light as a feather, where I have peace of mind
As light as a feather, in these discoveries I find

The sound of the brook, the chime of the wind, the roaming cloud patterns, flowers whirling--simply beautiful images you convey in this poem, Heidi. A FAVE from me for these splendid sights and sounds you brought forth. Best to you.

'As light as a feather' really works perfectly with your stanzas, Heidi. You have a 'Bullseye' on your hands here. Bravo, Gershon
