Peregrine

A peregrine falcon lit on a tree in my backyard, and I wrote this song.

1. Dawn-light comes and young peregrine
Finds a home in my backyard
Still as a living stone
Majestic as a work of art
He gazes upon the awakening of the day
I can hardly breathe from such beauty

2. One turn of his head and his silhouette
Commands respect and honor
Even the breeze is stilled
A quiet falls as deep as grace
All are awaiting his calling upon the sun
To rise up and bring us the morning

(Refrain)
Carry the light on your wings as you
Sail through the morning sky
Where will you go, my young falcon,
now that you've conquered the night?
Carry the light on your wings as you
Sail through the evening sky
Come back tomorrow young falcon
I'll be here to hail your flight

3. If I had your wings my young peregrine
I would rise above this place
Riding the breath of God
Above the clamor of our race
Visioning sound waves of peace sweeping 'cross the earth
Songs of majesty and of beauty

(Repeat refrain and first two lines of verse 1)

May be the Holy Spirit reminding through you to us that there is hope of peace and the God of love for all of us and we should be comfortable in our hearts about His presence... You always inspire me with you touching creations that contains nature and God, you know where can be found the love of God...

The song contains a peaceful imagery for both heart and mind, as I was humming it in my mind I felt the peace and beauty of nature that symbolises our heavenly Father...

I want to tell that you are an inspiring human being and your free flowing nature fills my heart with peace... Thank you for joining this site...

Sincerely

Thank you Dhiman- your reviews always inspire me and refect back the love of God. I am also very glad I joined this site. I didn't know I could find so many kindred souls in the virtual world. When I lose faith in finding God in the people inside church walls, I always find God in nature. The creation of this planet is awe-inspiring, and all the sentience and wisdom I find in wildlife (and pets). I hope someday we as a species reaches a consciousness of stewardship/protectiveness rather than ownership of the earth. Thank you for your inspiring review.

Beautiful. Very nice flow of words and thoughts. I could feel the song in the words. I liked the places and thoughts shared. Thank you Marianne for sharing the excellent poetry.

The visit felt a little like a spirit animal, even though he was really there. Hadn't thought of it before now, but maybe I should learn more about the peregrine falcon as a spirit guide. Thank you for reading this, and feeling the song. With appreciation . . .
