A Feather in Flow [Free Verse]

How do I roll like a
feather in flow?

The one that can't be
pulled from the pool.
It slips around the
lifted hand,
Retreating back into
the water that it never
really left.

It's like sleight of hand
one plays upon oneself:
at once magician & mark.

The faster one snatches at it,
the greater the miss.
The slower one moves,
the more frustratingly
one sees one's failure.

How to roll like a feather in flow?
