Like a Feather

Floating through life Like a feather she flies Wings carry her away from certain demise Fluttering through skies so blue The flock chirps their cue Bad weather is coming Thunder drumming Rain pitter patters on the roof, feathers ruffle A ball of floof Chicks in a scuffle Subtle showers slow the soaring As gray clouds cover the sky Wispy with rain pouring Full and round the heavens cry Searching for a tree to land So brown Atop her perch she stands Wet feathers have her weighted down She shudders at the sound Thunder rumbles As rain soaks the ground Waiting for the sun to peek through the clouds She pecks at the ground And makes her rounds Hunting for worms Brought to the surface by the storms She looks to the sky She sees a streak of light The clouds disperse Daylight returns The sunset burns She flutters her wings Her song she sings As she reaches the end of the limb She takes flight Through evening clouds she skims. She floats through the sky, Like a feather She flies Her wings carry her into the night As she hunkers down in her nest to wait for the dawn of light.
