Light As a Feather

Leaving old troubles 
and cutting the tether, 
spreading these wings 
still light as a feather 

Am free as a bird 
no matter the weather, 
just floating on air 
as light as a feather 

Skimming the hills 
over lilac and heather, 
take wing to the clouds 
so light as a feather 

Venture that horizon 
alone or together, 
onto a new dawning 
now light as a feather.
