Within one kiss the eagle came to us
Oh my love
my doorway to timelessness love
oh my love
my as one eagle baby love
oh my love
oh my love
oh my love
oh my love
we drive out to the eagle's nest my love
the car bounces in the potholes
shakes back and forth
we giggle and look into each other's eyes deeply
we walk around the tree
in the oasis
the tallest tree
it is surrounded by smaller ones with thorns
around it are thorn bushes, tall grass
we look down
gasp
an eagle feather
pure white
another one
they jump out at us like gifts
time stops
we take sticks
and hit the trees in a circle
a medicine wheel a song
around the tallest one
and then scratch the ground
and we find
gasp
an eagle's wing bone
and a baby eagle's feathers and bones
under some leaves
oh my love
I look into your eyes
timeless we have been here before forever my love
we kiss
it swirls
I am up inside of you
the eagle has taken me into you again
I whirl and am within the brightest light
in a flash
and time stops
space fragments and cracks
the baby eagle flies up into us for a moment
then there is only the mother eagle
she takes us
and flies upwards to her nest
in the top of the tallest tree
and she sings to us
"oh my spirit lovers
oh my eagle lovers
I take you
as one eagle
up into her heart
I merge you together to be one eagle
and I put you deeply into each other
cell into cell
and into me
and into Her my lovers
and I put the eagle spirit in you forever"
and she took us to her nest
in the top of the tallest tree
and fed us egret and mouse
and jewels and light
and preened our feathers
and sung to us
"oh my as one eagle baby
I raise you as my spirit baby
with perfect love
to replace the baby I lost
I feed you light
and the jewels of sight and healing
and I preen your feathers
and make you as one eagle shaman
you are the spirit lovers on earth my lovers
I do"
and we drove off
bouncing and lurching in the prairie
and went to feast
on fish and crab
and at lunch you looked into my eyes deeply
and sang to me
"oh my love
within one kiss
the eagle came to us
she took us
in a whirlwind of fragmented time and space
she came to us because
we were lovers
we were open
our bodies open
our pores open
to each other
she saw us looking into each other's eyes my love
she saw our kiss opening the universe my lover
she could fly right into the openings
she did
oh my love
the animals come into the holes of lovers who are open
the spirit lovers come into the holes of lovers who are open
when you see your beloved open your body to him
open your pores your cells
she comes in too"
oh my love
and I looked across the table
into your eyes
as old as the universe
and loved you perfectly
and saw that
in the kiss
when the eagle came into our bodies
and took us
and cracked time and space my love
it was just too fast to see with my eyes
and to beautiful to understand with my mind
it was the mystery of you
how does one kiss
take us out of time
and let the eagle come into us
and let me see?
oh my lover
you are.
