Upward rushing earth
And thrusting winds fall
Pushing back against
Causing friction to speak
Directing the descent
Demanding spirals
Accepting submission
Impact is imminent
A welcomed release
As all action ceases
Thought and motion
Everything is no more
Author notes
A free falling feather, and the ideal of pretty well spent life in my opinion...

Interesting, I didn't even realize it was a feather until I read your author notes. I sensed you could have put more effort into it, such as making it longer, giving it a title, and punctuation. I like how you say a lot in so few words, brevity is one of the best aspects of poetry.
Thank you for the entry,
