Courage of the Spirit
The EaglePerched upon the branch you gaze all around.
Your eyes see everything that can be found.
Your wings stretched out to protect
those close you.
Soaring high you once did so free,
Now it SEEMS as you might fall.
Along the ground you walk
with your wing a little clipped.
Vulnerability it may seem!
For awhile there you stay,
so many to comfort you!
Then you are encouraged to fly again
and
so you do, true love is all for you.
Down you come again, still standing tall.
Waiting patiently for that one true one
to fly some more.
Lessons to be learnt alone for awhile
and
only then will the true freedom come.
Perception of nurturing you give away.
When in truth you are not here to stay.
For only one you want to know it all.
Complicated yet simple it is,
learn the lesson to be complete.
The time is near and you will wait.
For both of you to be reunited and it is
never too late.
Soaring high with out stretched wings,
we both know the understanding of it all.
Still much to learn this is okay for it will be
together we stay.
You the eagle flying high
Close to your heart you watch it all.
Time does not exist as you sit and wait.
It seem to not work out but truth is what
learning is all about.
Sitting upon the branch you see it all.
Waiting for her to join you again.
Perception and words appear to have you caught
They do not know you if this is their thought.
Flying free is how you are to be
and
this she encourages you to be.
Many trips you have taken alone
now is the time for it to change.
You watch her change and grow as you guide her
from afar.
Back together you will travel
and
then you will be home again.
You are the eagle........fly high!
