I Am a Hawk: Leap of Faith

On a lonely cliff wings spread wide I am readying to leap.
GOD said he would appoint angels to guard my keep.
Tired of living in the cold dark of night.
I find my soul craving the comforting warmth of light.
Images flood my mind of what I will see
but how do I learn to trust again my once broken wings?
I am shown too many signs that I am meant to soar.
That my current circumstances are temporary. I am meant for much more.
Look me in the eyes and allow me to wander your soul.
Learn the psychology behind the scars that took their toll.
Create a world that exist outside of time.
Question is...When I look you in the eyes do you get lost in mine?

Hawk: visionary power, guardianship, messenger (akin to Mercury - Messenger of the Gods)

I have felt a spiritual connection with hawks for a while. I created my poetry soup account specifically for this contest.

I am happy you like it. Though I must admit I do not know who Soren Kirkegard is. Need to look her up.
