An Eagle Tale

an eagle tale

eagle flew too high
too high the others cried
dare he sit in the hand of god 

at dusk moon and sun
sun and moon face each other
lark translates

eagle rested on the highest peak
voices fell away as ice rain
moon and sun parted

stars bleat their cold message
winding about sleeping wings
like blossoms of light

dawn melts the magic
the night gown shed
eagle flies on






assure the invisible
no harm was felt
moments of grace 
most precious
