The Burden of Feathers

I have no Albatross
unless I give it feathers-
My neck is not suited to birds anyway.
The weight is wearisome, these feathers
I've allowed on this Albatross I've carried.
This bird is born featherless attached
to every new soul; smooth skinned both.
As hair grew on my body, as life
expensed itself in lessons,
feathers grew upon my Albatross
and the sun could 'ere be seen between them.
Now that I'm aware with a desire
to see the sun again,
a clipping is required- a lightening of load...
special shears to cut loose
these leaden feathers dragging me.
I closed two eyes and opened one-
letting in pineal sun...discovering
how easy feathers are pulled and loads lessened
by letting go of a need for shears.
No cutting required- they drop with a wish...a desire.
