HAVE YOU FLOWN?

Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)



HAVE YOU FLOWN?

Are you bound
Tighter than you've ever known
Is your heart free,
Has it flown
Higher than the birds
High in the sky
Further than the ships
Blazing into space
Beyond all boundaries
Of time and place
Soaring for the limits of
Eternity and finding none
Feeling the liberty
Of the Chosen
Found before Creation
And the Garden
Whence came the Binding.
Hidden in a serpent
A forbidden fruit
Which all men eat
Requiring a Salvation
We can never repay
Seeing dark night
While longing for Day
Free now to soar
On the wings of eagles
Crying in the morning
Dreaming in the evening
Knowing the comfort
And the Joy
Of the truly free?

Are you bound
Tighter then you've ever known
Or are you free,
Have you flown?
AMEN

About this poem

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40 13
