The Eagle’s Sheltering Wing
*******
An eagle soared far overhead
And down he through the trees with speed now dived.
And in and out he flew, an arrowhead
With beauty, swiftness, and might, who’s ne’er deprived.
.
Then slowly he circled me with those spread wings
Majestically covering the sky –
With wings so wide like protecting coverings
Of clouds of Love the sun can ne’er defy –
.
With bird and wings hovering so nigh,
Hovering with purpose it would seem.
The lighting but feet away, the bird with eye –
With quick-moving, cautious eye supreme –
.
Proceeded to pierce my heart, my soul, my mind –
I knew the dragon Israel soon would find.
