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
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
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...

oh yes, do!
ReplyDeleteI read these beautiful words,
crafted together so artfully,
and then went back to see the photo again
and noticed two birds soaring,
in my mind there had been just you.
And I deeply felt how not alone
you are....how very, very not alone
in flight
and in life,
in your everydayness.
And in my heart I heard the words
to an old Bob Seger song
singing,
"someday lady you'll accompany me
out where the river meets the sounding sea,
you're high above now, you're wild and free
someday lady you'll accompany me."
(those may not be the exact words but that's what I heard in my heart)
....just a sweet love song from the One who
loves and keeps you close to His heart.
You do accompany Him....and He, you.
Companions. So sweet.
I love this and the beauty unfolding in your journey.
Love and sweet song hope,
Jennifer
