Veritas Grounded

Bird, birthed from the same Earth as you

I still lie,

Alert to the worth

Able to assert

Without curtailing the mirth in my blood,

The full scope of love enlivening my spirit,

Something new

And unfounded, until today,

The wash away sway of the bay

Letting embellishments and logic set sail

Over yonder by the sea beside the pail is where I still lie,

Fearing little

Filling up

Ground from the Earth

Bound to you, sweet, beautiful Earth bird

In flight

My heart soaring to new heights,

Perched over yonder in the over brush

Watching,

Peering through the shadows

Piercing eyes in line with new light shining through

To where I still lie you gaze,

Fazed by my imperfections and the imperfections of the past

Wanting to fast

And yet here I still lie,

As you are my fuel, I am yours,

As there is wind, there are wars,

Both at our back now, behind us,

A gentle breeze for you to take flight in is coming

And I will see you through this to there,

Peace and love in the air,

As it should be between us

As there is nothing that can come between us ever again

That fights back the strength in our love

My fierce hawk,

Heart soft, like a dove.
