Waiting for the Wind

An eagle majestically soars 
Letting the wind lift it high
Pure grace and beauty 
Gliding across the sky

It’s wings fully expanded 
Directed by the mighty force 
Of the wind pushing it forward
Guiding its purpose, its course

When the wind begins to calm
The eagle perches on a height
Watching the earth below it
Waiting for movement, for insight

While other birds waste their energy
Flapping around with no direction
The eagle patiently observes and waits
For the guidance and strength of the wind’s protection

Sometimes we must be like eagles 
Patiently waiting for the winds to blow
For God’s confirmation will always guide us
When our movement and stillness are directed by its flow



This poem feels kind of like the next step after another poem I wrote titled "Fighting with the Wind" - http://shira19.blogspot.co.il/2012/11/fighting-with-wind.html.
