Feather

Undress yourself, stand stout 
Like there's no burden on 
Your shoulders.

Peel yourself wound by wound 
In front of the mirrors.
Conquer what's left of you.

Layer by layer grow thin..
Light as a feather and
Fly to the cues wind.

Stop when it doesn't blow.
Rise when it does and 
Sour when it tries to rush 
Itself to new highs.

Wind is life. Don't expect
Too much as there isn't.
Laugh when it makes you 
And weep when it 
Wants you to be sad.

Stay quiet and accept the
Things as they are.

But don't take your leg off
The accelerator, as 
Shortly there's gonna be
An opportunity to fly.

A period of calm might 
As well be a pullback to 
Set you in an vigourous path.
