It is astonishing
That in the cold numbness
Of your feelings
A passing bird
A bird in flight
Across your focus
Could change
The hues of your sunrise
It is astonishing
How your gravity shifts
Because you see a delicate creature
Unbound by the weight of the earth
Fluttering across your vision
Changing all of your dreams
What dreams have come before
What dreams will come after
In the turbulence of pale white wings
You'll never be the same as before
You think that the armor is thick enough
You think that experience
Has built enough cynicism
You think and think and then find that
Your eyes cannot look away
From the one fluttering feather
Passing through the air in the trail
Of the passing dove
In that moment
You find in astonishment
That your world
Your world has forever changed
