Leaning against tree,
By the side of rushing stream,
Two hawks circling high.

Spirit messengers,
No longer flying solo,
As are you and I.

ah..but they do fly alone..only in the comapny of anothers air space coming closer to theirs than might otherwise be the case...

an interesting piece..and thought provoking... do we fly solo always? or is it the shared spaces that add meaning?

Since the hawks showed up last year in such numbers, I've learned that a hawk loves company. As do we, as do we. Witness the website. Well written, and full of meaning.

We were leaning against a tree alongside of the river and looked up to discover two hawks circling directly above us. It was a magical moment!

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Linda, this is so beautiful, sweet friend, this made me shed a tear because I long to be loved like this and have a special girl beside me so I can hold her hand and make her believe she couldn't feel any more special and loved! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Keep your loving hand open and one day, when you least expect it, she will slip her hand into yours...

Donka shoon! lol That's my own take on the German way of saying, "Thank you!"

Have a great day!

Hi! Welcome to Passions! Glad to make your acquaintance!

"two soaring hearts in a forever sky"--I like that! Very romantically stated! If your poetry is anything like your reply, I'm going to love your poetry!

Thank you for the "very nice" reply!

Warm, welcoming hugs,
Earth Angel
