As an eagle

" 'You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself" NIV Exodus 19:4.

I am an eagle
You are my prey
I seek to devour you
As you run and play.

You cannot hide
In the brightness of day
And so you return
Into shadows of gray.

You seek out the night
For safety your way
And hide in the blight
Of disease and decay.

Your journey is futile
Your destiny's death
Unless you become
An eagle's breath.

To live in the light
In the sunshine of sight.

As an eagle.

Newell, OMG, surely and purely a keeper and one to treasure. Man, you sure have a way to find the words to express what you see and feel. You simply amaze me in all you write...and I find you to be of pure light and certainly as graceful as an eagle in flight yourself. Beautiful write as everything you bring to us.
