Soaring...Eagles and aspirations.
Reaching,
Bracing breeze and circles
High above the tedious earth,
Lifting up my face to feel the light of God's face.
And thus seeing--far below--that beloved speck of dust called earth
The shimmering lakes and the green of lawns
Where little people play out the passion of their short, frenzied lives.
From my mighty spot, aloof and lonely, I am strangely moved;
My heart is sore--for their frailty, their glorious plans gone wrong.
They weep in the dirt, and I so want to carry them...up...up...up
Into my arms, soaring.
Our Sunday Scribblings prompt is Soar/Sore
I cannot think of this prompt without thinking of that marvelous chapter 40 of Isaiah.
which ends like this:
28 Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Keep Walking...Keep running...Keep Soaring.
