~The Eagle of Gold~

---

The morning sky 

was turquoise blue 

 

with ribbons 

of lilac and pink

Clouds laced with gold

 feathered the sky

I saw an eagle 

formed in the clouds

Winging his way 

in a fanciful flight

I felt his freedom 

in my heart

And heard 

his piercing cry 

drifting on the wind

And in that moment 

of awareness, 

 

I realized,

I see 

through different eyes

I hear 

with different ears 

 

and touch 

with a different hand

With the first knowledge 

that we are the leaves 

dancing in the wind

To the echo 

of a moment 

when I knew 

To the long lost memories 

in the silence of dreams

And the shared secrets 

of the eyes in the mist
I have journeyed with 

You called, 

and I answered

I searched, 

and it is 

You I found

You spoke 

of Your love, 

and I heard

I followed a path, 

and it was 

You that led

You have given, 

and with Your gifts,

 I have grown

You beckoned, 

and I stepped 

across the threshold

And now I see 

through different eyes

I hear 

with different ears 

 

and touch 

with a different hand

 

My journey 

still just beginning

Not a day passes 

that I do not hear 

your whispers in the wind

And I know 

in Your love 

I shall abide

As I see 

through different eyes
