As the feather drifted from the sky
I felt my heart plunge before it
To the depths of the sea it descended
Meeting with a doomed watery end
~~~~~<<>>~~~~~
The bird I released lost feathers as it went
Flying off into the sunset forgetting its way
Leaving me to wonder of its safety, its flight
With my heart I gave it a message to send
~~~~~<<>>~~~~~
I knew deeply that the recipient wouldn’t read
Rather would not receive the letter I had written
My hope had sunk with my heart into the sea
Leaving me on the cliffs of Devil’s Descent
~~~~~<<>>~~~~~
As I watched the bird fly, the note had fallen
Descending, as well, like hope to its watery death
Standing on the edge now, watching in anger
I immediately fell into my lover’s lament
~~~~~<<>>~~~~~
I send to you, sweet, your freedom to love
Take flight in your life, hold on to your peace
Take my heart with you, daily be strong
I will walk besides always, remember me dear
~~~~~<<>>~~~~~
The breeze in the morning that touches your skin
Will be sent from me with intentions to soothe
The smell of the musk wafting gently as it goes
Will show of my presence, so dare not have fear
~~~~~<<>>~~~~~
I love you my darling, though you may not see
Know deep in your heart, intentions were pure
The message I sent that has fallen astray
Should be carried internal, year after year
~~~~~<<>>~~~~~
Now, as I say these final words of undying love
I look to where my heart has gone and I see
We will be together one day, I know for sure
If you hear of my passing, shed not a tear
