Steel and Feather

Tender touch of a soft feather

against the cold blade of steel

lightness in beauty is found

crossing paths with the snake

luscious downy warmth beneath

 marble pattern forged metal

light as a feather against

this sleek lethal weapon

how does such opposites

come together so well 

a wondrous combination

of crafted blade and beauty!
