Running beyond the meadows, <br />To the thicket of forest grass, <br />The sun was shining high, <br />As the eagle flew pass. <br /> <br />Watching as he soared, <br />So high above the land, <br />I knew my life had meaning, <br />That there was a bigger plan. <br /> <br />Lifted up so gently, <br />In Great Bears loving care, <br />The sky opened up to show, <br />The Great Spirit waiting there. <br /> <br />Wind blowing threw me, <br />My vision took new flight, <br />The Great Bear comforts me, <br />As I finally give up the fight. <br /> <br />Like mini feature films, <br />The past played in my head, <br />Great Spirit opened up my eyes, <br />And my soul it truly bled. <br /> <br />Tear drops from heaven, <br />Fell from the sky, <br />The eagle came down, <br />And I said good bye. <br /> <br />I thanked the Great Bear, <br />For the teachings she shared, <br />And gave thanks to Great Spirit, <br />For meeting me there. <br /> <br />© 2008 Wind Songs Spiritual Poetry<br /><br />Annalee Hopkins Somerville<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eagle-spirit/
