Feather

I am a feather
I drift with the wind
Or I stop at an obstacle on the ground
I flutter like a butterfly’s wing
Or I become flattened by the thundering rain
I am earthbound now
But I yearn to be in the sky
Working in unison with others of my kind
Now I am in the warm hand of a person
Who believes I am a messenger from the angels
Perhaps that is so
Or perhaps I am merely a feather
Lost from the one who made me so long ago
