FALL OF A FEATHER

Aastha Awasthi


Death so languid As fiery as a feather
That kisses the face of its demise as ever
A Tale of Death the fall of a Feather
A voice of dreams just gone forever

There were hundreds of feathers like it
Oblivious and happy Playing with glee
They were all puppets in a useless scheme
I wondered why it wasn't like esteem

Tons of conversations but not a single one with it
Room full of feathers but no friends to greet
View of its lonely corner everyone in a jolly cart
While it was suffocating on tears that tear her apart

Once it was too with all of them
The others on the wings of the heaven they said
But it couldn't keep up with the glory of them
It tried n' tried its best But it still went in vain

Pain was a pinch of salt Always the right amount
Not a life without knives nor a death with smiles

For it was forever the last in the line
Defenceless little thing that was barely even alive
The dark couldn't help dragging this easy blame
To the edge of its mind where the evils claim

Just a little push was all that it took
To fall from grace for falling loose
Nobody looked back nobody needed evermore
No one even realized it wasn't there anymore
Smiles and hopes all faded to none
As it kept falling and falling alone

Down as it goes Limbs flailing around
It chokes; it suffers in this peaceful town
Water in the throat freezing up its heart
Right up to the end before it could even start

Selfish it may be as it fall from its palm
Not a hero of any sort and it found its calm
Sun was on the horizon Casting shadows flake
On the ghastly waters of this tranquil lake
That can rival the sky in its beauty and art
Just close your eyes and let go at last

Death as languid as a fiery feather
That kisses the face of its demise as ever
