Where have the years gone:
like soft feathers
they float in the breeze of life;
fragile, wispy thoughts
to gather in, one by one
and stroke with loving care,
smoothing edges
ruffled in their years of flight.
Feathers of our memory-
they fly faster as we age;
time has learned a new step
spinning us around.
Feathers held just yesterday-
grasped from us so fast
before we comprehend
their colors and designs.
Relish each moment
lest the thief of time
deems feathers fly no more.
Caress the silky texture;
smooth the separated vanes
to flawless beauty
before they are whisked away-
from memories- or soul.
