tail feathers

wind whipped leaves
and your word 
quivers

no truth
can hide in
your feathers

and you'll wait 
'til the storm 
has passed

to take a stand
but it won't fly
in this nest

anymore.

…And no more fly in this nest,
Of shadowed trees,
And twisted limbs,
Under light of moon’s pale crest,

Breathe peacefully and know,
That what’s above is seen below,
And understand no truth can hide,
From the reflective sun,

Let the storm pass by,
And go.
