Sitting high above the world
Here on my mountain, my refuge
The clouds swirling
Dancing through the tree's
I feel close, oh so close to Home
Eyes closed head tilted
Hands stretched overhead
How I long to fly to feel free
Heart pounding temple throbbing
I feel a breeze and shiver
I hear a voice
It whispers, "Child fly be free"
I stand, walking towards the edge
I look below, why do I feel no fear?
Tears streaming, I let myself begin to fall
The voice keeps whispering
"Fly Child, feel just how free you are
Let not fear stand in your way.
Fly, feel the freedom, soar high
Trust and know you are safe."
I feel warmth embrace me
Caressing, gentle, soft
Wings spread wide
Suddenly from out of nowhere
An eagle appeared
Gently swooping down
As I feel the wind blow all around me
He looks into my eyes
Speaking softly
"This freedom that you long for,
Is already your’s
Fly like the eagle, soar, be free".
The eagle he has gone
But had he really been there?
Or had I been dreaming?
I smile and look in wonder,
There’s a feather in my hand.
Stillness all around me
Clouds still swirling by
My heart is beating faster
My body feels alive
The eagle it had shown me
How to soar and glide
Now finally, I realize
My spirit is free to fly
