Atlas's Feather
By myself, I walk alone
But you and I can make a home
Get to know me day by day
As I will you, we'll find our way
Unplanned for, the exciting kind
Unexpected, then you find
Your pardner, so much to discuss
It both ends and starts with us

Another Feather In My Cap
By day, I followed her around and watched her every move, for she was bigger than life itself. But when the sun went down, she would change into her uniform and go out into the summer evening. Busing it she'd go to the local factory and work on an assembly line. They made confectionery sweets

I Wandered Weightless as a Feather
after “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” (also sometimes called “Daffodils”) by William Wordsworth
I wandered weightless as a feather,
a muted plume from mourning dove.
A tuft afloat in breezy weather
connected now to skies above;
as long as winds will carry me
from over fields and out to sea.
My glad esprit more free than

Politically Speaking
A word or two about my view of the politicians
we presumably put in positions of power
hobbyists bought and paid for under the table
catering to manipulating lobbyists by the hour
where saying nothing yet flapping their gums
offending no one when sitting on the fence
doing naught but wagging their tongues
and all the while protesting their innocence
dodging the bullet

Birds Of A Feather
Is it a gaggle of geese
as the sky turns red
or skein of ducks
flying overhead instead
into the wild blue yonder
and as the crow flies
it's not a murder
nor a tidings of magpies
there's more than one
(for sorrow)
the question I did surely ponder
as they flew into the setting sun
with sparrows I have no quarrel
and yet with the wisdom of

Feather Swords
What are you afraid of
Look in their eyes
For now it's time
You've been soft for too long
Head on her knees
Arms wrapped around her legs
And just like a prisoner
For freedom she begs
For a moment they pray
The other she turns to prey
If she doesn't marry, she's faulty
For crimes she never did she's guilty
Each day every

BIRDS OF A DIFFERENT FEATHER
Birds Of A Different Feather
(Feather Pen...Ink. Tanka)
She's like that hen,
peacocking her bouncy tail;
proudly strutting it:
Both strutting the same purpose;
but different roosters sought:-

Feather
all you ever needed was to be felt seen.
you hid yourself from this nasty world,
you moulded a side of you that hid your secrets perfectly.
my best friend don’t be afraid,
you carried me into this world when i was made,
our roles changes and i layed you down to leave this land.
you have been blessed with the

Feather
It leaves my being,
it swirls in the air,
tossed by the wind.
It has yet to find its place of rest
and embrace the daylight.
It glides in the twilight of yesterday.

WRITING FEATHER PRINCIPLE
Cleverness and Humbleness
Search for excellence
Therapy words
The fire that burns
Anecdote Heal
Through the alphabet
The leave determined to arrive
Valleys of doubt
Understanding needing seek
The desire to be meek
Echoing voices
The tongue expresses out
Statement after statement
Mistakes having corrections
Love with enduring affections
Until in everlasting
The Writing Feather’s friend
Throughout always at the end
The Feather with the hand glide.

Floating Like A Feather
LYRIC
Floating Like A Feather
[]
All these thoughts circling so I calmed my nerves and walked up to see
Have you found any time
to spend with me
I'v grown so much
I've found a need
it's always been you
It's always been me
My loving fortress of dreams
Come be redeemed
Let's spend eternity together
In a sea of belief
Where waters run free

A feather on the wind
A feather on the wind
Knowing no end
Taken here and there
By master no care
Never had a choice
Nor say in voice
Live to be ruled by
And never ask why
A lie simple and clear
Makes nothing dear

Feather And Ink
Upon this rock I hang my crown
And I will wait here for thee until the sun goes down
And if you don’t come I will leave a message in the sky
That will nourish your soul until the day you die
Bring me a feather and ink and a scroll to nail to the tree
I will write the

Birds Of The Same Feather
Birds of the same feather hailing from different places were summoned by a warlock. They speak different languages and were transformed into something else for their dishonesty. For them to understand each other, the warlock granted them one last wish -- one language to express their thoughts. They can't do anything to
