oh mighty painted bird
hark these my loving words
hark these my loving words
spread you at my waiting feet
and on thy heart let me feast
then open wide your glory wings
and fly me to those crimson springs
lay me down in the rolling tides
till the gates of heaven open wide
enter in my heart’s deep cave
and come to me in rhythmic waves
where ancient voices have their way
and in my love you will stay
oh mighty painted bird
hark these my loving words
spread your wings
and with me sing
and on thy heart let me feast
then open wide your glory wings
and fly me to those crimson springs
lay me down in the rolling tides
till the gates of heaven open wide
enter in my heart’s deep cave
and come to me in rhythmic waves
where ancient voices have their way
and in my love you will stay
oh mighty painted bird
hark these my loving words
spread your wings
and with me sing

Such inspirational words, Jenean. And the image you've chosen has a touch of the spiritual about it, too. And I see I've missed your birthday celebration, so I will be heading there to leave my wishes, too.

Beautiful. As soon as I saw the title, I thought of Jerzy Kosinski's incredible book Painted Bird.
greetings dear nevine! you know, i've just discovered this artist's work - isn't it fantastic? i loved it and knew i had to do something with it the minute i saw it - hence, these little words of inspiration for it!
oh, thank you trish! and another book for my amazon cart, now, as well! :)
I love the words as much as the image. I am glad the image inspired you in the way it did.
greetings sarahlah - so happy you enjoyed - i do love this artist's work - he has another image i used in a previous post that is an all time favorite as well - the post is called the painted bird below! thanks so much for coming over!
