The Eagle

Sky air between my feathers rising

beak leading the way turning

effortless gliding eyes scanning below

feet tucked in for speed claws clenched

a glance up and around as a shadow passes over

down below the river gleams like a silver snake sliding

my heart beats like the Sun on the land

as I beat my golden wings to get higher then higher

the miles pass by unnoticed

I am the Eagle

I shall live forever
