First Flight

The light within blazes with Truth.
An ancient denial held it obscured.
And yet it burned as it always did.

The dearest memory but forgotten
....how did he ever forget that!
Absent of coercion, the silence of attraction blinded his eyes.
A past long since gone by no longer haunted his thoughts.
A recognition of a timeless Present came to his awareness.

A room that was once dark Now shone with light.
There, the innocent child of his ancient past,
still perfectly safe and absent from harm.
The child was Now grown and only Now recognized as an Eagle.
But the Eagle was in a cage.
The guilt of the past was the substance of the cage,
fear, the source of the guilt.
The Eagle was sleeping.

But Now there is Light.
The Eagle inevitably awakened.
Still dazed by his deep sleep and confused from his dreams,
he discovered time’s only purpose....
to separate Truth from illusion.
A necessary adjustment before he could fly.

The key to the cage was embedded in his wings.
It was clearly marked forgiveness.
A perfect fit for the invisible lock.
And Now its time to fly.
It’s Now time to fly.
The only time there ever was.
