earthbound

"Let the waters settle and you will see the moon

and the stars mirrored in your own being." ...

solitary it sits

perched loftily on

its Ponderosa throne

screeching

screeching

its defiance

into the cool air of morning

how I long to be up there

proud potentate of the sky

instead I plod

earthbound

and let the roiling storm within

cloud my vision

and give me feet of clay

ah

give me breath O Beloved

deep breath

that I may calm my soul

an see reflected

in the deep calm pool

of my soul

an eagle

wings spread

against the sky
