White Feathers


White feathers turn gray over time.
Which color is more honest?

Smooth bones turn porous in the sun.
What strength remains in what is left?

Dust hardens into stone underfoot.
Which is more pliant over eons?

Innocence gives way to wisdom.
Which is the greater treasure?

Each holds relevance and truth in its own time.
