Eagles Flight Soaring gracefully in wide open skies, how I envy you. Wings spread, uplifted in flight, so free you are. What do you see when you gaze down, your vision so keen and sharp? Do you see me as the person I really am... Or so much more? What currents direct your paths? Against gentle breezes and strong winds, you still take flight. I can only watch in amazement, watch as you soar. You have no fear, no worry, no cares. The skies are your home. I close my eyes, lost in the fantasy; imagine flying above with you ...And I can’t help but dream of the day when I too can soar. ------------------ This is courage...to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends. ~Eurpides |

You do fly high, Hoot, every time you write. Another well done effort. |

What a beautiful offering to wake up to ... I think it's going to be a great day! Nocht ------------------ "Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morierus" (Now as I hear this bell tolling softly for another, it says to me, "Thou must die.") |

On a branch the hoot owl sits ever watching, ever quick, the eagle may soar and not miss much but the owl in patience may notice more. [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 10-17-1999).] |

The hootie-owl sits at night hearing motion, taking flight, the eagle peruses land by light but at dusk ends his flight. In sun's beam I hear a screech on high lift my eyes, view the sky In dark, from the other, just like you, I hear the question, soft, just "who?" "Who" is the question, from whence words come, "Who" is the answer, no thought left undone, "Who" is the rhymer all poets adore? why 'tis "Who-t"-owl-rn" does tribute adorn. |
