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.
