A feather’s fancy flight


The wind had brought a whiff of schwarmerei from the past,
Dust had obscured the view of my journey till the last,
The boat was rocking in the turbulence of life with nowhere to anchor,
The never-ending roads like a Matryoshka led to the solitary Preacher,

A white feather from nowhere lay on the edifice of rationality,
And tried to decimate the pains of emotional instability.
I could hear the feather trying to say something,
Diapasons of happy voices echoed out of nothing,

The feather while in motion appeared so self-consciously solemn,
I stood and gazed in amazement at the genesis of eternity’s realm.
Radiance from the feather lights up the alley, the wind in its flight clears up the dust,
Happy voices were talking to me, telling me the story of a future gone past,
The lightness of the feather gave me the strength to weigh anchor,
The Preacher in this world of brevity finally became the Sinner …
