A feather plucked from the tree of hope
Left me wondering about the past.
Do I live within the circumstances
Or forgive them at last?
I put the feather in my pocket
Took a very long walk.
Never said anything to anyone
I didn’t want to talk.
Sometimes I want to be invisible
Just watch people come and go.
There is a travesty in life sometimes
Something only some of us know.
There are people so lost within themselves
A problem blocks their sight.
It stands before them like a giant
Though they fight with all their might.
It takes us pointing out to them
There is always a way around.
Not every battle needs to be fought
You are never truly bound.
The road is longer than I thought it was
Time gets away from me.
People start to worry about my mind
I like the feeling of being free.
I take the feather from my pocket
Smile at a stranger.
I know my life will always be a fight
But my grace has never been in danger.
I hand the feather to a child
Tell them to never lose hope.
Go back to what is my life
With an extra piece of rope.
