TOUCHING WINGS
Watching pigeons on a wire
Watch a Hawk that soars up higher
As it circles around and round
Staring down
And all the pigeons know it
Their pigeon legends once
Foretold it
Of the one that comes down
Sweeping
From the sky
And of all the times
They've watched another die
As the talons tear and grip
And the sound of a beak
That rips
They know when to stand together
And when to fly
.....
Now that Hawk is just a predator
Just like the ones that got
The best of her
That made her think that she was less
Than she could be
Yet now I see her
On this wire
Next to me
.....
I don't try to feed her poison
Leave her free to fly
When chosen
But still try to guide
Her flight right back to me
And that's because of all the things
We're meant to see
And for all the myriad ways
We're meant to be
Woven together
Touching feathers
Taking love from good to better
With two hearts
That never sever
What our God
Has brought together
I cannot imagine ever
Wearing out
Or feeling tethered
- For I want to be bound to You
Now
And forever
So despite the things you've seen
And all the tragedies
I hope when you look at me
You see where you want to be
- Is right here
- Intertwined
And Touching Wings
