SACRIFICE AND OFFERING

Folder: 
2019

unless a kernel of wheat 

falls to the ground and dies

golden waves cease to be

 

eagle soars effortlessly

warmth of sun caressing feathers

gliding upon the invisible

singing its heart out

with notes of a flute

swirling about in translucent mist

 

wings extend their reach

scratching surface of wind

outstretched with wanting of cliff's edge

alighting upon crag of spent hopes

searching for what once was

 

echoes of song return

as feather released

once again search begins

quill with new purpose

must submit to downward pull

beauty of spiral descent

balancing between rainbow colors

 

the end it knows not

mystical waves of air uplifts

shadowed voids disrupt flight

no matter length of days and nights

soft touch onto garden lands

purpose accomplished

decorating sky with the dance

 

each a complete sacrifice

each an offering given

kernel falls and dies

eagle molts

new beauty and life begin again
