A Tethered Falcon
My heart sits on the Arm of God Like a tethered falcon Suddenly unhooded.
I am now blessedly crazed Because my Master's Astounding Effulgence Is in constant view.
My piercing eyes, Which have searched every world For Tenderness and Love, Now lock on the Royal Target-- The Wild Holy One Whose Beauty Illuminates Existence.
My soul endures a magnificent longing.
I am a tethered falcon With great wings and sharp talons poised, Every sinew taut, like a Sacred Bow, Quivering at the edge of my Self And Eternal Freedom,
Though still held in check By a miraculous Divine Golden Cord.
Beloved, I am waiting for You to free me Into Your Mind And Infinite Being. I am pleading in an absolute helplessness To hear, finally, your Words of Grace: Fly! Fly into Me!
