A collaboration with photographer, Mike Davis of MICKSPIXPHOTOS, who contributed the photograph of the Raptor atop an old tombstone.
The Soul-Bird by Sri Chinmoy from From The Dance of Life

O world-ignorance,
Although
You have shackled my feet,
I am free.
Although
You have chained my hands,
I am free.
Although
You have enslaved my body,
I am free.
I am free because I am not of the body.
I am free because I am not the body,
I am free because I am the soul-bird
That flies in Infinity- Sky.
I am the soul-child that dreams
On the Lap of the immortal King Supreme.
Special thanks to Mike Davis, a.k.a. MICKSPIXPHOTOS for the use of 071809-139 SURPRISE !!!!. Go read the story of how Mike captured this bird on a photoshoot with friends.

I love when you put images up that I have not seen on your front page Fran.. this is lovely!!
F.A. Moore replied
It was in the “recent” section for a while, but dropped off. I’ve been adding new works quite far apart now, since I started the groups. :-| Kind of a sleeper, with only one feature. But I like it, and thoroughly enjoyed creating it. Glad you caught it, Lina!
Margaret Harris
Your so creative Fran..this is beautiful and haunting…Love the words!
