CONDOR My eyes are lifted by the grace Of wings that span the heavenly skies Suspended in a condor’s space Where splendor saturates the eyes A predator of human minds Held captive by his gliding flight And he, completely unconfined But I, a prisoner of delight My vision honed on wings that trace Unhurried loops around the sky Now he, the condor, can’t escape Captivity of human eye Beyond my view his feathers rise And touch upon that heavenly door His drifting wings that hypnotize Escape to freedom evermore Where is the condor that was mine Above the California cliffs? He’s soaring through forgotten time And etching circles in the mist Elizabeth Santos January 3, 2004 |

  (smiles) Oh, here's our feathery friend! (big angel hugs) This is a most beautiful graceful poem, sweet friend, you know I love it as my Native American ancestry celebrates the spirit of the condor and all of nature, God Bless You, this is a keeper, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
