Lifted aloft on wings of bronze feather
the currents rise up swirling
and they join together
their talons become one
locked in the dance
not wanting to miss
only this chance

Furious wingbeats
powerful purpose
from far they`ve come
lifetimes they`ve searched
but they`ve come full circle
led back to themselves
failures and falseness
all have been dispelled

As one being apart
from the pair that they seem
formed out of their connection
eclipsing the dream
of who they are
and what they want to become.

Higher they fly
till the apogee is reached
they roll over in sunlight
one to each
and they become each other

Earthward they plummet
fear has no place
only their desire
nothing else in this space
between heaven and stone

In their mating they shreik
emotions untold
never letting go
not loosening the hold
no thought of the fall
only of each other

The moment of climax
of impact profound
Heaven bursts forward
splitting open the ground
their oneness runs liquid
rainbow light not a sound

Then the earth closes up
and the lovers are taken
higher up still
till the Heavens are shaken
consumed by the earth
to be sent to the stars.

Love is Eternal
and Fleeting

I want to be an eagle if just for a few seconds, With abandoned love.
this is great.
Joel. And thank you for all your kind words in my post.

 I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
