Do You Not Know?

Have you not heard?
Heard about the Lord?

Even the birds know
the little house finch, who

flies by my window and 

alights on the railing ~

poised just so...

just so I can see him through the slated blinds. 

Does he want to soar like an eagle?

Higher and farther than he can go now

strengthened by God to expand his horizons.

I am like the house finch

with a limited territory

I grow tired of my boundaries

I would like to soar like an eagle,

perhaps to ride on a dragon

for if all things are possible with God ~

why not?

I will close my eyes and soar

soar like an eagle

like an angel

opening my heart & soul to God

so that I may be strengthened

in turn to strengthen others.

Given hope, I will walk

I will walk with my sisters and brothers

and they with me, we will not faint.

I have heard

Heard about the Lord

and I am blessed.

Based on Isaiah 40:28-31
