Wild Things

In ancient of days a scribe inscribed his world in beautiful detail in exquisite penmanship he gave life to
Nature and her creatures never had the plumage of birds been described in such detail as you gazed
Upon these wings were you not carried aloft did not the wind stream passed your face didn’t you know
Exhilaration beyond compare hear the eagle scream know the fear that the prey must have known it

Did not your feet feel the stone beneath your very stance tried to inmate at least slightly this lord of his

Awareness to your own senses everything is rich and right with this world outside the abbey a long
Assured future of many days much activity thrilling times await all on this blessed journey
