eternal lonely cry

for the rich earth of your soul i long
your soft fullness breathing life force
i yearn to venture the mad ecstasy
fly and soar eagles riding the wind

~

masters of the sky rising high above
like eagles we spiral drift and glide
thrones high above floating clouds
canyons and towering mountains

over green trees eden's lush forest
silver streams and waterfalls
grass fields hills and rivers
over ocean breakers' sunlit foam

~

lonely cries screaming echoes the cliffs
naked creation fearless innocence calls
from far below deep above bodies one
holy ground lover's embrace entwined

we as grains of sand and grass seeds
in eyes of a hawk the eyes of eagles
our spirits rise tiny specks beneath
fertile ground lavish grows prospers

~

long hoped awaited gift of birth
paradise tears joy in weeping love
fresh misty whisper green flourish
divine caressed sacred silence

strong hearts freedom of flight
faith in naked rapture wings
thrill of life king of the sky
dare to rise to final surrender

~

jagged arrow falls the sky roars
from heaven a soul conceived
forever moment of a miracle
the instant of life's creation

never ending living lightning
shrill ever deafening roar
falling like a thunderbolt
naked bodies calling life fire

single scream an eternal lonely cry

I am the Eagle I live in high country, rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky

I am the Hawk there's blood on my feathers” Lonely cries screaming echoes the cliffs

“And all those who see me and all who believe in me

Share in the freedom I feel when I fly

~ John Denver

I'm sorry I meant to come back to this and read again and comment.

Do you dream of the freedom of soaring as the eagle far and wide with such views?

At the end is it turning to human life conception, comparing to the thrill of the eagle-like exultation?

Yes you've got the idea Rhiannon the story is about freedom, love, courting mating, ecstasy conception and birth. And the force of life, and of course the beauty of Nature. Dylan Thomas wrote, “the moment of a miracle is unending lightning”.

Please don't feel you have to ask excuse for reading later, it is only flattering! One shouldn't put restraints on yourself that do not exist.

I mean if you bought a story at a bookshop you would only read the book if it was written yesterday? Or don't you read it because it must be more than a day old by now! No. Just maybe if it's a newspaper or a comic. Some books we read are thousands of years old, as you well know .. . ..

It is a weakness you know, of internet publishing. And everything else is instant too these days namit, but some stuff you just can't buy.

Yes Rhiannon, I do long for freedom on an eagle's wings. Can you imagine the wind rushing past you .. Yes and imagine the views, as you say!
