Flying

Oh, to have the wings of eagles

Climbing wind drifts to the sun,

Riding free on rising currents

Wrapped in pinwheel circling.

Looking down on my dominion,

Watching where the rivers run.

Every move of every creature

Open to my scrutiny.

Dare to keep me on the ground when

Clouds can be my fertile soil.

Beg the sun to preen my feathers

With its purifying light.

Weep not if I drift forever,

Lost to sweet oblivion.

Comfort that I’m lost in freedom

Where no harm can touch my soul.
