Matthew Brackley Poet Ballad

The Secret of a Golden Feather

A feather can fall
Drifting slowly
Through your heart

Such golden whispers
Through your heart
A feather can fall
I heard it drifting
Through skies full and dark

A golden feather
Revealed all
As it turned slowly
Through your heart
A feather to fall

Secrets
In a feather
Soft and light
Golden too
That fell
Through skies full and dark

From a feather
Golden whispers
A secret
Such things drawn
From above
Drifting slowly
Golden love

If you let it fall
A golden feather
For you
For all

So many skies
Full and dark
Yet, you have
The secret
Of a golden feather
Drifting slowly
Through your heart
