Feathers

 Most of our accomplishments in life,

Those glory days, the winning bid...

Appear no more than micro dots,

Spread out on our lifetime grid.

I wanted to change the world,

Use Gandhi’s words to converse...

Unlock unanswered mysteries

And orbit the universe.

Now adding up the victories,

While the opportunities end...

I find my whole life best described

As feathers in the wind.
