Friendship

In the stillness of the night
Not a whisper anywhere
There came down a feather
So much lighter than air

In the stardust of darkness
The light from the moon
My hand reaches out
It’s never too soon

The contact is made there
A feather and skin
The weight is so nothing
It’s almost like sin

What meaning a feather
In the dark of the night
It floated towards me
No bird in my sight

My hand just relaxes
I gaze there within
A tiny white feather
Made soft and so thin

I close up my palm now
And feel the life there
The feather from darkness
A place with no care


And all right around me
The peace of the night
The magic of being
In this time of life

Take what I have here
Ill share it with you
The magic of friendship
The feather of truth.
