"A hawk on the fly"

Perspective of the Sky for Teddy and Jihye I always used to try To see things from the sky Until it became my habit And how it is that now it is that I A hawk on the fly Can look down and find the rabbit Of what I need to become a part of me And it does now because I know how to see It took awhile to learn Taking my time to earn First my respect and then my trust But having been patient I take my turn If I must return Like hawks and rabbits to the dust Knowing I have been having seen from the sky And from that perspective having learned to fly I have seen how it is from up there Having learned to embrace My specificities of time and space Embracing to transcend them Rising toward immortality Riding tide and wind but not in vain Rising and falling and rising again Because that is what I do But what I do is worth doing right Having learned I am happy just to be Who I am as I am and I become I want to hold close and enjoy The things those without perspective destroy When their rabbit of need becomes greed To be my best today before tonight To have principles and defend them But never defensively To answer simply and not explain Because I do not need to And having learned to see to be True to myself by daring to care Enough to insist as I am and do Learning to see as I become To know who I am and where I came from The point of it all is that I learn Now as a creature of the air I came from the sky where I return And if you look up you might find me there Where I belong there where I am free To be where being I have learned to see Being now and seeing how who Learns to see is free indeed As I am and as I see what is true Being and seeing and freeing me Remembering what I forgot I knew As a hawk on the fly From the perspective of the sky +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
