The above photo was taken in and Orlando, Florida shopping center parking lot last week with my pocket digital...what I would not have given to have my long lens with me that day....

On Wings Of An Eagle

I soar with eagles; I reach the fringes of a new heaven, and I taste the sky.

I carry with me on renewed wings a certain hope as I reach new heights.

I discover the thrill of being alive, and though I am an eagle, my eyes failed to see.

I had crashed myself against walls of doubt, but now thanks to a simple butterfly I am free.

Darkness falls fast behind me as I climb...climb ever nearer the golden bright sun.

I see the shadows that once consumed me melt beneath my wings.

I feel not that the race in which I had run is lost, but now by grace it is won.

I soar with eagles; and I dwell in magical gardens with flowers in full bloom.

I dine in sweetness amongst these gardens and beautiful things.

And I rest my spirit amongst flowers and butterflies near the warm / cool silver springs.
