Dream of Freedom

I dreamt I saw a feather upon a ripening wave
That fell and rose; this eagle feather strayed
That lay upon the blue cheek of a smiling sea,
This smile from sea and sky, that smiled at me

I dreamt I saw a feather dancing on it's own;
A fallen testament to the thousand skies it's flown
That dreamt still of those far, measureless blues;
This trophy of a restless warrior proved

I dreamt I saw a feather resting amidst two skies;
Felt it knew the language that waits in dreamers eyes
It whispered of shining realms I'd never known;
Of borderless summer, of earthen life outgrown
