Great Blue
a gift
one single feather
left behind as you flew from my sight
great blue, with your heavy graceful wings
lifting up to fly
leaving the grace of your wisdom with me
you stand alone as do I
strong and grounded in two realms
of Sky and Land
we explore and do many things together you and I
dreaming into reality
all that can be
we depend on no one
the gifts of earth and water
provide for our needs
the fire of our majestic spirit
takes us aloft as we seek sustenance
our mighty wings lifting us onward
your gift on my altar
one single feather
a reminder of who we are - together
