Fly gentle bird, your wings have now been healed To you much has been shown, much has been revealed Your heart has been made whole again, you are ready to soar Much has been given to you, love, strength, and so much more Fly gentle bird, you've waited your whole life for this chance Glide through the sky as you once again join life's dance Your soul once hidden has been seen with the wonder it deserves And love has been given to your heart, a love that preserves Fly gentle bird, sing the song the world waits to hear I will be here always holding your heart most dear Fly gentle bird, there's only one thing that I ask. . . . . . please come back. . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 05-11-2000).] |

Oh Sven...this just takes my breath away! So tender, yet yearning...My fav country song used to be "Let that Pony Run." This reminded me of that. Fabulous read, and it just makes me want to *sigh*....(deep breath) I want to thank you too for being such a "regular" of late on my poems. Your comments always mean so much. I know I can always count on you for support and understanding. Thank you sir. *curtsies* |

Thanks for posting your poem Sven, I really enjoyed reading it, it had depth, meaning and life . It was very touching and sentimental showing a nice, gentle side to life . L.of.L. Tom . With poetry as your weapon - express your iner feelings so all may carry your sorrow, united as one . |

Sven...what a beautiful, touching poem. It reminds me a bit of one I wrote. Nest Of Love I come to you Like a injured bird On flightless wings Drawn to the safety Of your healing arms And soothing voice Broken and scarred I find my solace there There in your arms Where you hold me Scared and trembling Close to you Softly you whisper Words of encouragement Words of love In a heartbeat I lose myself in you And the healing begins You shelter me But do not cage me Let me try my wings Knowing all along That I may spread those wings And fly away In turn hoping That the love you have showed Will bring me back to your nest |

Thank you all for your wonderful responses, but I would be remiss if I did not thank you especially hoot, for your wonderful poem, which is exactly the right counterpart for this poem. . .

Some birds are meant to be free, others fly around just looking for a home. When it is right...they will always return. Marina |

Sven for your sake I hope your bird from heaven returns hon, my fingers are crossed Beautiful work as always, who could resist???  At last I have heard the song of enlightenment.... In your heart you can hear it now, if you listen.... It is the song your spirit has been singing since the moment of your birth. All lasting victories are won in the heart.... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
