One Bright Morning...

***

our primal need for sky

-- juxtaposed against

an earth-bound plodding pilgramage --

compels us to breach our body's boundaries

adjures us to find our wings

to seize those rare moments gravity gives up its rights

and in this twilight hour unfurl Faith and take Flight

These Hindsfeet of mine
now bloodied and scarred
have carried me far

over impossible passes
through depths desolate and dry

I have clung for dear life to the Hand holding me

and beheld, broken-hearted, impassable Red Seas

I've followed in Footsteps down Gethsemane roads

I've learned how to die

It's time, 

finally, 

to Fly...

-e.a.a. "Hindsfeet"  3/21/12
