Analysis of Feathered Motion
Sweet feathered motion slips past open eyes,
with a smile I dance in nature's soft grace,
a wonderful world rests just beyond sighs,
sweet feathered motion slips past open eyes.
The Heavens flap wings across calm blue skies,
such delicate beauty lights up my face,
sweet feathered motion slips past open eyes,
with a smile I dance in nature's soft grace.
