"Heart's Flight"

              "Heart's Flight"

 

If the heart could soar

On eagles' wings,

T'would never wish

To land on earth again.

Oh what wonders one could see,

While flying, oh so loftily,

And if t'were storm clouds ahead,

One could bank, then fly overhead.

Rising above all of earth's pain,

Wings outstretched to catch the wind,

Free to look where naught has been

And to choose when to descend.

Landing high on mountain crests,

Avoiding valleys that depress,

Feeding hunger so easily

Then once again---flying free.

Yes...if the heart could soar,

Upon an eagle's wings,

T'would never wish to land

Upon this earth---again.

Your poem is beautiful. "If the heart could soar "On eagles' wings, T'would never wish. To land on earth again." Those sentences pack a lot of meaning. Nicely written. Keep writing.

Well written... beautiful imagery!

A very nice piece and as I completed it I thought of how the flight of birds has in everyone and especially writers, been an uplifting feeling and thought throughout history. I expect the word for soar in any language would bring a smile to your face and an exhale of breath with a feeling of excitement.

From the beginning of time anytime you think of being among the clouds it is always happy and uplifting as your beautiful work has brought forth. Thank you kind soft spoken young woman.

You have such a beautiful and pwerful way with words; that not ony touches the heart, but the soul as well. Making any heart believe that it "could soar on eagles wings" such lovely and wonderful imagery.
