Feathers

I wish I was a feather
Belonging to some animal
Not in a zoo
But rather in a wild forest 
Or another planet 
Where no one hates or dies
Where animals are kings and queens
I, a feather of such royal animal
Would be floating in the wind
Wherever it would take me
And however long it would want 
To embrace me
​And carry me toward the edge of the world
I would be a loving feather
A romantic one
But ONE, nonetheless
A single lonely feather
Belonging to some wild animal
Who would not even feel my absence
Because that is the way of kings:
They don't feel their own feathers.
