As an eagle " 'You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself" NIV Exodus 19:4. I am an eagle You are my prey I seek to devour you As you run and play. You cannot hide In the brightness of day And so you return Into shadows of gray. You seek out the night For safety your way And hide in the blight Of disease and decay. Your journey is futile Your destiny's death Unless you become An eagle's breath. To live in the light In the sunshine of sight. As an eagle. Copyright: Newell Elsworth Usher Silver Streak of Silver Springs, Florida April 8, 2002 Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Newell, OMG, surely and purely a keeper and one to treasure. Man, you sure have a way to find the words to express what you see and feel. You simply amaze me in all you write...and I find you to be of pure light and certainly as graceful as an eagle in flight yourself. Beautiful write as everything you bring to us. Sauni @~~~>~~ |
