*I saw with my heart* *In a summertime dream* *Something beautiful, awesome and pure:* *Two eagles, mid-air* *Above a clear lake* *Flying wingtips together and sure.* *Dipping low, soaring high* *With effortless skill* *They blended with rapturous ease.* *Like love on gold wings* *They flew in the light* *Just skimming the loftiest trees.* *Can something so wild,* *So fluid and free,* *Be a part of this life here below?* *Must we watch with our hearts* *Yet be tethered, in fact—* *Only agony-ecstasy know?* *Soaring up to the Light* *Our spirits are loosed—* *All encumbrance of circumstance gone.* *High gliding and chaste,* *Suspended and free,* *Our flight is rapturously long.* *Oh God, make a nest* *In the loftiest trees* *For these eagle-like spirits of ours.* *No more can we rest* *Far down on the earth* *So filled with its languid tomorrows.* *—Patricia Henderson Struntz, 1982*
