A Fallen Eagle

A Fallen Eagle

a fallen eagle
is there such a thing?
an eagle soars
with just a beat of the wing

and an eagle sits
high in a tree
with distant vision
she is able to see

what has she seen
that caused such fear?
what torn her heart?
what was so near?

a heart that beat
just like her wings
connected to
her voice that sings

the eagle fell
out of her tree
and now she’s lost
where can she be?

she’s found a realm
that is safe to be
a place where she
is loved and free

free to dream
pretend and play
there is company there
all night and day

that inner world
is ours to discover
a child’s world
without father or mother

if she invites you there
you are sure to uncover
the secret to love
is to love one another

when she knows you know
she will find the way
to spread her wings
take flight and say
we are love, let’s play

and away you’ll soar
two birds of pray
to bring your love
to others this way
