That Feather
Once again she follows
that feather on the wind.
Where does this lead?
When will it end?
The Big Dipper.
North Star.
Sun angled in the sky.
Can they direct her?
Is it a lie?
The best way to learn
where this path goes,
is to follow instinctively.
Her heart knows.
Patience is needed.
No more running away.
She moves forward
at her own speed
into a new day.
