Feather falls silently
kissing earth with foot fall
leaping in joy for all
as God looks on.
Author notes
Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
~ Psalm 46:10

Hoodwinked!
Your word choice is gorgeous, the imagery and personification of the feather falling to the floor - great.
Sorry that I am late with the hoodwink!

o many blind to the ways of the world that they cant see with all its splender and the makings of man today so many dont believe in God and for them I cry that they were never taught of its blessings and have become lost in time
