"Today I Saw a Feather Drop"


Today I saw a feather drop 
Will its journey ever stop?
I never saw it touch the ground 
Just fly away without a sound 
It brushed the trees so withered, cold 
and raced the wind sevenfold 
It cradled right and left, so light 
farther, farther, out of sight 


Today I saw a feather drop 
Will its journey ever stop? 
Has it found its peace and calm 
lying in somebody’s palm 
or does it fly over the sea 
and when it’s flown, where could it be?
Will it dance around the tower in France
or would it land in Japan by chance

Today I saw a feather drop
Does its journey have to stop?
It could travel all over the heavenly Earth
and see it for what it’s really worth
The water, trees, dirt, and skies
the cows, dogs, birds, and flies
All combine and form to one
a joyful journey under the sun
