The Hawk

THE HAWK I feel so blessed when I see him soar High above in the cloud-filled sky And free I feel so good when I watch him dive And swoop and glide glad to be alive Being Free I feel content he has the space to be What he is a beautiful wild spirit Still free I make a promise and take an oath That I will do all I can to see that he Remains free Beneath feathered breast beats a heart That wants to be no different to me Living free He remains a while hovering high above me Proud, elegant, splendid in his majesty Always free Copywrite DilysBrown/January 2014

Dilys now this one has that double edged feel, is it the hawk who should be free or us or both, I like the question it poses...David
