Eagle
Poem
To
pray you open your whole self 
To
sky, to earth, to sun, to moon 
To
one whole voice that is you. 
And
know there is more 
That
you can’t see, can’t hear; 
Can’t
know except in moments 
Steadily
growing, and in languages 
That
aren’t always sound but other 
Circles
of motion. 
Like
eagle that Sunday morning 
Over
Salt River. Circled in blue sky 
In
wind, swept our hearts clean 
With
sacred wings. 
We
see you, see ourselves and know 
That
we must take the utmost care 
And
kindness in all things. 
Breathe
in, knowing we are made of 
All
this, and breathe, knowing 
We
are truly blessed because we 
Were
born, and die soon within a 
True
circle of motion, 
Like
eagle rounding out the morning 
Inside
us. 
We
pray that it will be done 
In
beauty. 
In
beauty.
