Hildegard of Bingen

Like a feather on the breath of God
Dear Hildegard; you surrendered
To His will and might were you
Like an eagle on a warm air current
You were content to simply be!
Like a tiny particle of dust
On this mighty earth - swaying
Floating in a place of warmth
Knowing not where you would land
But being blessed and all-seeing
By God's Holy flames upon your brow
His wondrous visions in your eyes
How I do envy you His presence
In your simple life and faithful heart!
I thank you for conveying
That dearest love from our Lord
To all mankind you were
The Sybil of the Rhine
Visionary; poetess and composer
Blessed in being able to be
Writing; seeing; hearing and knowing
All about our dear Lord
