Love Song of the Eagle Feather

Love Song of the Eagle Feather

‘Love Song of the Eagle Feather’ is a short piece of writing begun years ago but only completed recently in the aftermath of writing a previous week’s post about ‘Oldeagle’ that reminded me again of its existence.

It’s written in honor and homage to the great symbolism represented by the powers associated with that most magnificent master of flight among heaven’s corridors, the Eagle, and the feathers which fuel his flight and inspires our own through the lives we live together on planet Earth.

LOVE  SONG  OF  THE  EAGLE  FEATHER

One day an eagle gave of his great and small feathers to a man on the ground below.

And the spirit of the feathers spoke to the man, asking him to tell others of his kind about them so that they too might know of the gifts which they bring to us, if we will but see them and use them for our own good.

The man’s spirit was deeply moved to be given this great sign of honor and asked to complete such a task, so he sat down close to the warmth of the campfire in his heart and began to think of what he would say to bring those gifts to life in the hearts of his own kind.

As he opened himself to the warmth of the campfire he felt the strings of his own spirit begin to quiver, and the notes of a powerful song begin to sound the drumbeats of his heart upon it…and he began to sing The Love Song of the Eagle Feather in this way…

“Honor the eagle feather as a symbol which shows us our own Great Gifts of…

Flight that touches the vault of the heavens

… and is known to us as the wings of our Imagination!

Elation that revels in the sheer exuberance of flight

… and is known to us as the freedom of Joy without limits!

Attitude that attains the unreachable heights

… and is known to us as the Heart which believes it can achieve anything!

Tenacity that never gives up striving to improve ourselves

 … and is known to us as the strength of the Spirit within us!

Hope that always believes all things are possible

… and is known to us as the source of our eternal spring of Optimism!

Exaltation that lifts us above the realm of the ordinary

… and is known to us as the expression of our soul’s Gratitude!

Reach that believes there are no limits to trying again

… and is known to us as the strength of our Courage!”

The Eagle flew low above the man and heard The Love Song of the Eagle Feather resonate it notes of truth and enlightenment to all who would open their hearts to understand its message, and was filled with joy to hear his message of the feathers being shared in such a good and powerful way.
