Tragic feather
Tragic feather
No longer gay or loft
How is it...
That you have lost your wing
Were you cast out
Or could it be thus, cut off
From an angel
Or of a hawkish breed
Fallen feather
Lying amid the lonesome soft
Your tuft ne’er to ever
Touch again, the summer breeze
Underneath the shades
Of Weeping Willows drops
Adrift...
Within a sea, of decaying leaves
Covered white
You are soon to be
And, now forever lost
Beneath, the grove of empty trees
