Journey of the Ethereal

She moves smoothly,

Whispering tender ciphers to the wind,

Her each movement elegant,

Delicate.

Softly caressing the air,

With an effortless glide.



Her pearly whiteness

Surpasses the moonlight-

A subtle twinkle.

The breeze moves her hair;

The silver flimsy strands,

Gently float along.



She flows lightly,

Her hips gyrating softly;

To the right,

Then to the left,

Moving in their own rhythm,

Making their way

Through the mild breeze,

Slowly-

Very slowly.



And then finally she stops,

Her journey ends.

Over the vast land,

The feather finally rests-

And prepares herself for

Yet another journey,

To wherever these soft zephyrs

Carry her next…
