Flying Feeling
By: Noah Eaton
4/18/07

We all want to carry the sky on our backs,
but some of us can’t find a word,
perhaps because we don’t take ourselves lightly,
stride a little too forthrightly,
but in the white noise between,
there hums a silent sermon,
promising us the moon,
beyond our trial balloons.

And some of us go flying rather than feeling,
meandering on the rims of each other,
while some of us go feeling rather than flying,
when we are all children in need of healing,
role-playing like surrogate mothers to another…

Refine my heart,
show me the sky again so to impart,
a part of me above the absolute ceiling,
let the young be sprung,
assure them that we and the stars aren’t that far apart,
so we can cultivate that flying feeling.

We all want to see the true face of the earth,
but we keep chasing those glowing hours,
we're whales and dolphins pursuing all that flies,
no matter how hard we try.

And some of us go flying rather than feeling,
walking along the edges of each other,
and some of us go feeling rather than flying,
when we recognize the price we pay in annealing,
coming out of our shells for each other…

Refine my heart,
show me the sky again so to impart,
a part of me above the absolute ceiling,
let the young be sprung,
assure them that we and the stars aren’t that far apart,
so we can cultivate that flying feeling,
so we can cultivate that flying feeling…
.
.
.
.
Refine my heart,
show me the sky again so to impart,
a part of me that keeps reeling,
let the young be sprung,
assure them that we and the stars aren’t that far apart,
so we can cultivate that flying feeling,
so we can cultivate that flying feeling…



"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other"

Noah...

Smiling at you, and for the satisfaction of finding a Mistletoe Angel to read...

and, check your email.  I have a "flying book" for you to consider!

As always Noah your songs have way of reaching the heart of the matter.

a good commitee can decimate communication.

And I believe we are on the way, dear Noah.

The "Flying Feeling" is a state of bliss, which helps us to stay above chaos, to enjoy a clearer view of WHAT IS.

You did a wonderful job, I love this!

Love and hugs.

Noah!!! I'm so ding dang happy that our Mistletoe Angel is back!!!

Spring has certainly sprung in the spirit of this right write!

"...we and the stars aren’t that far apart,"

~ and this you do impart with this stellar poem!

Fly high and free with the stars as your guiding light!

So good to read you again, my dear friend!
