From the heart
walton:
And let's not forget the Peregrine Falcon:
A Peregrine Falcon
by Emile Pinet
A peregrine falcon dominates the sky,
wings majestically arched with flair,
soaring alongside the elements eye to eye.
In a flurry of speed it flashes by
serenely aloof, both untethered and rare,
a peregrine falcon dominates the sky.
Sunlight gilds feathers as soft as a sigh,
and flickering flecks ignite in the air,
soaring alongside the elements eye to eye.
Being both naturally nimble and spry,
while inspiring audacity and dare,
a peregrine falcon dominates the sky.
Riding an invisible thermal high,
its spirit swoops me up and I am there,
soaring alongside the elements eye to eye.
Like poetry in motion wingtips fly
and awed by its beauty I can but stare,
soaring alongside the elements eye to eye,
a peregrine falcon dominates the sky.

Love, love this one:
The Eagle
BY ALFRED LORD TENNYSON
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
Glo, my husband is a pilot and has High Flight plaque in his office. Beautiful sentiment!!
Faith:
You are all coming up with some great choices. Thank you!

walton, the eagle and peregrine poems made me feel like I was soaring on a thermal with them. I could almost hear the clash of talons as they interlocked and feel the rush of their wings sweeping past me. What a vivid depiction!! Gives me shivers.

Walton, gg - I had the same feeling and visions in my mind as I read the poems too. Thanks, Walton.
jicaji - neat on your husband! Thanks for sharing that with us.
You know...poetry doesn't necessarily have to be in the form of verse. Songs are really poetry sometimes as they may have rhyming lyrics. I tried finding just the right song and still may, but instead, because of the peacefulness of this thread, I found another instrumental song and hope you don't mind me posting a video. It's a video with a nice, relaxing tune and some nature thrown in, so I hope you enjoy it:
