Describe - A Feather

One paragraph.

Colors of sapphire and teal, moss and verdant green, bundled in free-floating strands of downy thread. Flashing, shimmering, burlesque. The indigo eye blinking, sighing when it brushes through the air, rippling through currents unseen. Sclera shimmering gold; slim orange and red halo like fire.

Sweeping wisps of delicacy flowing from a stern stem; unified strands clinging to each other against the onslaught of the torrent, gliding, swooping, stealing the wind with a tentative hold, falling, swirling, the battle lost as it kisses the ground tenderly. Its soft cream banner stricken with tawny stripes; retired from service to rest upon the golden field, unburdened and free.
