Whispering Hawk

A clockwork pass bears return to rest
A mind adrift falls behind the steering time
Grant the day a vision of your wings
A sight amiss finds you high upon a sending line
Brown feather cross this path of ours
Your spirit charms bestow securing things
Trace your winding gliding turns
Solemn circles fall from atop the sky

A sense of common air and brotherhood
A touch of wonder floats within the wind
Grant the day a vision of your flight
A lifting heart finds a place to hold within
Brown feather, a sturdy humble essence
You bring harvest to repairing light
A reminder of his whispering presence
Solemn goodness, good feathered friend

Dear Timothy:  I like the images of your hawk spinning spirals against the sky. I see wild raptors often, here in the country where I live and there is something awe-inspiring about them and the way they master the air currents.

Great "natural" feel to this. It has a depth that is historically flavored.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

In reading this I was reminded to let my spirit soar like this creature, made by God's own spoken word! Loved this!

Thank you all - My wife (whos is Native American) once told me that to see a hawk meant good luck.  Ever since I have felt this unexplainable bond with them.  Weird?

Anyway, I wasn't sure about the form or movement of this poem, I am trying to break out some the molds and crutches I have been using for so long.  I hope it works.  

Thank you all and God Bless. - Tim
