FEATHER IN THE BREEZE

You’re a feather in the breeze
Prodded rocking side to side
No control no direction
As you drift upon the wind
 
Jetsam on a broken shore
Empty life with hints of more
Waiting as your savior
Lifts you up to take you in
 
Transparent and so fragile
Stripped naked and confused
The tears have worn away
the underneath
 
You sacrifice your values
Give up, give in, give out
Prostrated and so
Open just to breathe
 
Fragile, cracked and broken
Jetsam floats upon the waves
Your own needs go unspoken
In your offerings to please
 
Opened with acidic hands
Your inner self wears thin
In a life of hidden winds
You’re a feather in the breeze
 
Silent tears in dark of night
Only you to hold you tight
With loss of soul in darkness
In some ungodly way
 
You cry in silent sorrow
As the sun unveils morrow
You face the waking challenge
Of pushing past the day
 
Fragile, cracked and broken
Jetsam floats upon the waves
Your own needs go unspoken
In your offerings to please
 
Opened with acidic hands
Your inner self wears thin
In a life of hidden winds
You’re a feather in the breeze
