Life sails on a gust of wind;
light and buoyant as a feather.
It observes its surroundings,
embracing the journey.
The wind accelerates.
Life wrestles the wind;
compelling it to slow down
or change direction,
but the wind knows its own destiny.
Tenuous as a feather,
life senses a change;
a slackening of the wind.
Life drifts on a gentle breeze.
The last breath of wind
hums the feathery blues,
as it carries life to the finish line.

This is so lovely and beautifully written, Jennifer. Life’s finality wonderfully expressed in your last stanza.
