 ~* Dreams Of Eagles *~ Last night I dreamt I was an eagle Flying high ‘ore the raging sea. A journey I won’t soon forget For such wonders did I see. I soared in evening’s sunset, Over mountaintop and sand, Looking down on peace As darkness fell upon the land. And way beyond this sunset Above the earth so very far I soared away from all the evil And any thoughts of war. I landed in a serene, green forest Only quiet and peace lived there. I rested by a raging waterfall Forgetting fear rising everywhere. Soon I flew above some dolphins As they danced in graceful play Hearing their silent message That they didn’t need to say. Taken back by a sunrise None more beautiful in dreams I realized at that moment Life is much more than it seems. I realized then so very tenderly there were many things I never knew simple things I'd missed in life - That dreams of eagles take you to. The eagle spread his wings, and flew away As just one simple feather floated free A gift of freedom he must have left As a souvenir for me. I'll never, ever be the same As I know one day again, I'll fly Where the heartbeat of the water Joins body’s spirit to the sky. art: Sybil Smorgana - Webshots  R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

 (smiles) Oh Sharon, I love eagles and all of nature so much and the tales of our Native American Indians as well! (kiss on cheek) I too wish I could fly like one, they are so very free and inspiring to our hearts! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sharon this is so beautiful and if only we could soar away from it all. But seems only in our minds! And way beyond this sunset Above the earth so very far I soared away from all the evil And any thoughts of war. |

I actually did have this dream last night that I was an eagle flying all over the world and wish I could have told you what I saw in the faces of the people I saw too, but it wasn't there to put down for some reason. I guess it was after seeing the news and subconciously wishing for peace that this dream came about. Glad you enjoyed it. |

I really love the images and feelings I get from this I especially loved the last lines... "Where the heartbeat of the water Joins body’s spirit to the sky." Wonderfully written!  I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

Why...why? Is this not a book submission? Let me know when you change your mind, 'cause I'll be back to sign it again... You are simply marvelous... |

I am so glad you all enjoyed this - I am practicing for Kit's visit, that girl rhymes all day (maybe I will learn something) Sunshine, it is not a book submission because I already put way too many - but thank you anyway. I will be happy if even one gets in there for the grandkids one day. Now...I hope you all let go of your worries, for there is absolutely nothing you can do about them, and go fly like an eagle. |

I've dreamed of being an eagle before. IT was a lot like how you described it. the Wind is invisible. |

To all of you - I can tell that you have flown with eagles (at least in your sleep) and I only wish that the beauty and peacefulness of our dreams can become a reality. Thanks so kindly for reading this. |
