Let your soul out to fly the open sky of your thoughts riding the winds of your inner perfection.

You sometimes have to write from so deep in you that the words take flight on their own, as did the words of wisdom stated simply here.

++++++++++++++++
Oh Great White Water Eagle
Spread your giant wings
Over the waters of thought
Reaching every pore of your body

From the torrents of your inspiration
Rush your way along
To spread your message

Of love in hate
Of the beauty out of ugliness
Of life out of death
Of something out of nothing

Blending life’s pleasures
To simulate the readers senses
In the wildest ride imaginable
To open the mind in a state of inquiry

In the magic of words growing before you
On paths going everywhere
You can think to use your imagination
To rise in a sunrise and set in a sunset

Opening up a blanket of star light
To cover your dreams
With the moon’s halos seeking to illuminate more
In a dark passage of time

And as the stars shoot across the skies
With each finding a separate end
Life sleep is awakened in a bird song

So fly Great White Water Eagle
Join the chorus
Shriek your message in a nerve-ending chill
But stay the path of the ever-seeking eye
Reaching in the flight of the fantasies
To amuse yourself in the rides of you’re fancy

In a feather you drop to wish the receiver well
The strength within it is felt
For this feather will send the power
To create the armor to do battle

To catch the readers mind
And to imprison his time
To implant the garden of delight
That they will depart with
In the dance of life flying so high
With the bird of flight

Called the Great White Water Eagle
Of emotion in the simplest of words
Saying so much
To draw a tear from some
And a deep smile from others

Implanting in them
The beauty of the written word
Seeded in the mind

You are doing a fine job at that! Majestic and visionary. The analogy is amazing.

Sincerely,
Regina

It's all in the mind
Except for what's in the heart.
