Eagle Poem
BY JOY HARJO
To pray you open your whole self
To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
To one whole voice that is you.
And know there is more
That you can’t see, can’t hear;
Can’t know except in moments
Steadily growing, and in languages
That aren’t always sound but other
Circles of motion.
Like eagle that Sunday morning
Over Salt River. Circled in blue sky
In wind, swept our hearts clean
With sacred wings.
We see you, see ourselves and know
That we must take the utmost care
And kindness in all things.
Breathe in, knowing we are made of
All this, and breathe, knowing
We are truly blessed because we
Were born, and die soon within a
True circle of motion,
Like eagle rounding out the morning
Inside us.
We pray that it will be done
In beauty.
In beauty.

This beauty is my very favourite piece. Amazing Baltic Amber cabochon that is out national price has been paired with a dreamy American Turquoise.
Tiny eagle flies towards the turquoise :)
Size 7 US or 7.5 US (please send me an email after your purchase and let me know)
Can you see the stars behind the amber?
One of a kind.
