My Window 6/5/2022

A tiny feather
Suspended in mid-flight
While floating
On a stream of air
As it catches my eye.

Not forcing a direction
Just flowing
With the breeze
Please come
To my window.

What might
I be taught
From this moment
Of time?

May I learn to just be
May I learn to love thyself
And embrace
Who I really am
No matter what others
May think or say
About that.

Breathe deeply
Connect with
Inner strength
And personal power
While deciding
How to express
The best version
Of the human self.
