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.

Where your soul meets the beauty of nature....
All dreamt and created by my two hands in my lake studio.
Intricate tiny eagles. Double leyer of silver sheet.
Adorned with 23K gold (keum boo).
handmade cascades of silver ballpins (made and wrapped by hand), finished in gunmetal shiny patina
Oxidised and perfectly finished. Perfect to wear every day! In my shop you will find matching bracelet, ring and necklace.
Lightweight and eyecatching!
In beauty....
