On Eagle's Wings

Drifting through the skies, Alone, she always flies Where no one else can go Across the mountains, Where the winds blow… On soft, downy wings She soars, inspired by the sun The glowing ebb up in the blue Where laughing stars once did shine Promising the night that there would be The wonder of moon to glow through The trees – both oak and pine, Embracing the heart with its smile Plumy desires fall from the heights Where she flies, rising above the ridges Elevated so she sees everything below, The miracle of the clouds passing by, The hesitation of the prayers spoken, Whispered by lips who yearn to see… Forever kissing away all the darkness, The doubts, the melancholic weakness’ On feathery feelings, she rises and falls… Testing her wings, testing her heart She needs only the caress of the gentle air To breathe in and breathe out – wishes, Sighing through the spirit, ministering Blessing every dream with a promise that this Mystery, this kindness will erase every Blindness as she climbs, ever aware of the Light, the love, the life – as she sails… Flying through the blue skies, she ascends… She abides in the spiraling awakening Sun, moon and stars… all share in her dreams Believe in her gifts, her beauty – her Healing, the gentling moments when she Bleeds both compassion and brilliance… She fades from sight on the heights Gliding past forever – into the heavens, Where God Himself can bless her With mounting joy, increasing smiles…. All the wonder that accompanies her flight This eagle mother is forever so dazzling, Wings wheeling, hovering, coasting As she skates across the skies, a winged shuttle Into the newest heights, into paradise She only stops by her nest a few times Checking on the babies who make her life Feel like a blessing – as she protects and protests Anything that approaches the chicks who Await that golden beak, filled with insects and bugs! Alone, she flies… silencing the darkness, Preparing the night for her insight into life, She is alone, but she flies… inspired by the skies Stirred to life by the gentleness of wind blowing, Caressing the downy softness of her intuition, The knowing that just past this cloud, Over the timeless urge of the moon and stars, Into the kingdom of hope and grace… There abides a faith that makes forever her chance To say – Freedom comes with her wing's praise!
