Constance La France Poet Free verse

My Feather

 
Fluttering, drifting
to and fro it soars
it dances in the mighty wind
it twirls, it swirls

There
upon a sheer jagged rocky cliff
an Appaloosa horse of many colors stands majestic

There
under this blazing azure sky
an Ojibwa girl looks at the beautiful land of Canada

There
in the mighty wind that roars
a feather lost from her raven hair, quietly moves

There
far below the Ottawa River thunders
and the vast lands of wilderness stretch to the horizon

There
above in a perfect sky
eagles soar, symbolizing "The Peoples" strength

There
in my spirit dream
the only sound is the wind that moves my feather

Fluttering, drifting
to and fro it soars
it dances in the mighty wind
it twirls, it swirls
