Feathers

As I see the feather gliding 
From place to place 
It moves carelessly 
There is no hurry, there is no race 
Nonchalantly 
As the winds blows it up and down 
Effortlessly 
It goes all around 
Gliding smoothly without making a sound 
It’s next step not planned, not known
It is weightless 
It goes with the flow 

I think about how back in the day 
When I was child and all that mattered 
Was enjoying the simple joys of life 
Playing 
Laughing 
Running 
Without any stress or strife 

My dreams were as simple as having a bike 
I didn’t need to be liked 
It was a time where I could just be 
Didn’t have to pretend to be anybody but me 
All of life was just about experiencing beauty 

Joy was simple 
Either through a game 
Or a slurpee 
Or a candy 
Things didn’t need to be different
 I was happy with the same 

When I was child life was rich 
Filled with cries and laughs 
And angers and sighs 

It was like being a feather in the air 
A time that will never come back 
It was truly rare 

And as the feather finally streams through the winds 
From it’s lovely quest 
And it comes to its rest 
So too I feel blessed 
That I came to my own rest 
But sometimes I wish 
To be a child again 
To relive again in that simple happiness
