"Hither, Feather, come from the wind!"
The Feather obeys, gliding
Gently to the voice.
"Feather be tethered tonight to the letters! The letters of lovers!"
The Feather floats on it's own breeze
Down to many sleeping lover's papers.
Gliding across each page so swiftly,
Feather penned every affection
Each lover felt for the other.
Bodies and personalities,
Actions and words.
All were described
In detail like a bribe.
The last letter being finished,
Feather fluttered around the room,
Waking each lover from snooze,
So their love would blossom and bloom.
As the sun dawned in the east,
Feather returned to the sky.
Seeking out the voice again,
Chasing it to it's joyful cries.
"You have done well, Feather! Return to your wandering ways."
The Feather returns;
Following its winds.
So the next feather you see on the ground
Pick it up, and let your lover not frown. :)
