Her angel wings
were limp and listless....
Gathered closely to her body.....
A body depleted of hope...void of any desires.
The smile on her lips was artificial....
Not reflected in her melancholy eyes.
One day she looked up from her pit of disillusionment....
And there He was...
Like an eagle soaring high above her.
He reached down to her.
He offered her his strength.
He offered her his eagle wings.
"Come soar with me, my love...
My strength will be your strength,
No one will ever push you in this pit again."
He hovered close above her...
He circled round and round...
Gaining her trust....gaining her love.
He watched her eyes as they brightened.
Then one day she offered up her hand.....
As his reached down....
Touching.....they melded....becoming as one..
Body, mind, heart and soul.
He lifted her up on his mighty eagle wings...
Never to let her go....
Never will she fly alone again...
He is her Protector,
And she is His....
Together......forever.

He sat alone on a lofty crag, the cool wind whispering to him!
His heart was sad and the emptiness filled his soul.
He scanned the horizon not knowing what he was looking for.
Then he heard a cry, so sorrowful he was filled with the pain
and anguish of it.
The eagle launched himself into the cool mountain air, his wings lifted
him...
He followed the updrafts and rose higher and higher scanning the area
for the cause of the cry of pain.
Then below on the edge of a cliff he saw her, standing with tears
streaming down her face.....
An angel...her cry of pain ran thru his soul like a knife.
His eyes saw the beauty of this creature and hurt and pain she carried
from the betrayals she had suffered.
Why, why would anyone hurt such a beautiful and wonderful soul as this?
He circled above her and softly he called to her...."Shush my lovely
one. Cry no more. I am here...I will hold you, protect you
and no more will anyone ever harm you. Come...come fly with me.
Let us ride the winds together and be free."
She looked at him with longing eyes, he could tell she wanted so much
to trust him.
But, too many times she had been betrayed in her trust.
Too many times had she given her all to someone only to have it torn
and bruised in return.
Could she trust this one?
Should she give life one more chance before it was all over?
Reluctantly she spread her wings and lifted from the ground to join
the eagle, flying higher and higher.
He spread his wings over her to protect her from the sun.
He told her he would protect her from all with his very life.
He told her of his great loneliness....and how his heart ached
For someone to love and make his life full again.
As they glided over the land he told her of his dreams....
And she told him of hers....only to find they were both looking for
the same things in life.
Gradually she came to know the eagle, and to trust in him.
She found that he would not, could not, lie to her...
About his feelings for her...or anything else.
Slowly the pain eased and again she felt the thrill of life
Flowing through her soul.
She felt fulfilled to be loved again and this time sure and true.
'Tis the end......no, the beginning....of the story of
The angel and the eagle.
