Noah Parker
A feather floats by,
Tickling the cheek of a child,
Easily drifting just out of reach
Of clumsy clutching fingers.
It drifts along
Floating on the wind
Unhindered by any
Tree, person, or building.
Brushing the mirror
Made by the cool water
Of the ocean.
A feather floats by
Just for you.
