Coronation

Coronation I looked up at the azure sky A figure glided up above I sat and gazed to see it fly As to create an act of love It slightly dipped its wings to sway I looked up in the azure sky It closed its wings as if to pray Projected body up on high It stopped then swooped; I mouthed a sigh To watch it swirl and set a course I looked up in the azure sky It picked up speed with all its force Expansive wingspread ocher brown The mighty Eagle zoomed on high The regal bird bestowed its crown I looked up in the azure sky Andrea Dietrich Contest January 29, 2016
