Eagles Wings

In this world where eagles fly
and falcons soar
I, too, with wings unfurled
reach for unfamiliar heights
and in the reveries
of my evening song
taste the voyage
of my soul.

In dreams, I wander
searching for my home
looking for the child
I left behind,
floating down
the empty streets
of times past
uneasy corridors
that lead to nowhere.

Voices once familiar
echo in some distant doorway.
Faces long forgotten
turn in recognition of my soul,
this strange land of my enigma
vanishing with light of dawn.

No peace
this restless wanderer can find
in flight nor slumber.
Were I only to remember
in my waking hours
that once obscured memento
of my childhood grace

I would surely fly with eagles,
climb the mountain tops
and find that winding path
that leads to home.

I'm so glad that healing came from this poem, although I'm not surprised in the slightest, as this piece is absolutely soul soothing, and beautifully expressed...a souful voice you have, dear Joanne...
