Mystical Dance of Love
Karen Torbiak
2000

Jagged peaks washed
clean of all vegetation
raise the eye ever upward
to gaze upon the blue heavens
where pillows of fluffy clouds sit
like white islands in a sea of blue

Flying high among the peaks
are two majestic eagles
with wings spread to catch
the strong current of the wind
as they ever circle higher

But wait, the site blurs
and the air shimmers
to clear on a vision similar
but unlike the first,
changing reality to fantasy
blended in perfect unity

Two winged horses of legend
now soar high above
where once was the home
of the proud eagle

Sunlight glitters off their wings
as they glide effortlessly
among the peaks
that create a playground
of pleasure
for these magical beasts

Standing and gazing
in awed reverence
one can only imagine
the smiles adorning
the faces of the Gods
watching the display
set out before them

One soon comes to realize
there is something purposeful
and spiritually special
about the way
these two dance
through cloudy peaks

Wing tips overlapping
they glide effortlessly
circling higher and higher
side by side

Suddenly the larger of the two
leads in a swift plunge
following the outline of the jagged
and now dangerous peaks

The smaller follows closely
almost on the very back of the other
in a copy of each move
made with practiced confidence

The watcher gasps
and her heart tingles
with anticipation and knowledge
that she has stumbled
upon the dance of love
performed by the most
mystical of creatures

Coming to a stop, noses touching
in perfect unison
the two flap their gigantic wings
to raise together
where they can begin
this magnificent dance again

Slowly the scene fades
before eyes wet with wonder
and heart soft with wishing
to dance this dance of love
in life and reality



Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. [URL=http://path2riches.com]http://path2riches.com

The music begins from magical instruments
Played with breath of love. . . .

Wonderful. . .
