On Swallows Wings

A poem written for me by Lizzie Leigh of Words and Tea

On Swallows Wings by Lizzie Leigh (Commissioned by Sue Cartwright , 2019)


I do not need an Eagle’s nest 

or talons long – 

I’m born to soar 

and sing my Swallow’s song 

 

I call to you from Father Sky 

nest within your eaves​

casting sickle moons upon your sleeves 

and birthing insights by and by: 

revealing ways to optimise your lift 

displays which take you way beyond the mundane 

coming home to that sweet place where life’s a gift … 

 

My joy is found escorting you to places 

where fresh inspiration sings 

celebrating all the flight it brings​

invoking that strange magic 

which abides on swallows’ wings.
