BEAR WITNESS WITH YOUR PRESENCE


Bear witness with your presence 
To when the gifted hatchlings fly
Outstretched wings glide 





Though withering


The seasons have overtaken me 

Tis no time to say goodbye

Listen to the thunder 

It's clapping 

Imploring 

From way up high

Bear witness with your presence 

To when the gifted hatchlings fly 

In the daytime I've built up my aerie

Commenced my hunting in the night

The seasons have overtaken me 

Tis no time to say goodbye

Swooped down upon my prey

Snatched them with my talons 

When I was spry 

Bear witness with your presence

To when the gifted hatchlings fly

Call out to my eaglets 

Too late 

Alone

I lie 

The seasons have overtaken me

Tis no time to say goodbye 

And now I sing of my remorse 

A regretful lullaby 

Tis haunting me

That I did not see

Until the stillness 

Came to my eyes


Bear witness with your presence

To when the gifted hatchlings fly

The seasons have overtaken me



'Tis no time to say

Goodbye
