ON THE WINGS OF AN EAGLE; revised

  ON THE WINGS OF AN EAGLE On the wings of an eagle I would   fly Over hills and mountains Higher than high On the wings of an eagle My heart would sing Breathless  The  visions of all things

I see My soul would steal away To magic places in my mind

Places I long to be Leaving unkindness far behind On the wings of an eagle I would close my eyes

And

Sleep the  sleep of childhood dreams

Again...

 
— Geremia, Mar 26, 2009

Oh the noble eagle

That fits something I said recently, Longobardolino! The Byzantine eagle flies wherever he wishes and is so strong that he gets to his goal afore long, always warmly welcomed by us humans in awe of his presence, his beauty, his power, his noble carriage and more. Fly on your eagle like the little bird in the story and reach higher than he, closer to the blue of your dreams. There where no pain exists and all is joy. Your Annuccia

May I have this dance,

May I have this dance, Annuccia & Longobardolino, shall we make it a moonlight circle dance? Much Love. ~A "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time. And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho
