New Feathers

Unruffled

Free as the wind beneath them

Rising to meet each new challenge

With a reinforced fortitude

Glory to God in the highest Heaven

For now, I leaven

Leaving behind my old mind

In exchange for a headdress of rebirth

I say Isiah will teach me

And Jesus will reach me

Like two arms lifting my spirit

I will walk with an upright spine

Like The Book in the hand of a learned scribe

I will be the vessel

That begs to be filled with love

So that there is no room for hate

Rise, Oh Great Eagle

And Fear No Evil

As you soar towards Destiny

And Hope
