As the Eagle, Came the Wind

As The Eagle, Came The Wind


     As the Eagle, came the wind,

     Above the high mountain peak.	

     And blustered ‘cross the valley
	
     To the sound of raptor’s shriek.

     Blowing from lofty mountain passes

     Where the Eagle chased the breeze

     Was the wind that lifted the Eagle

     Circling over the forest trees.

    The wind that stirred the valley

     Was the Eagle’s strong winged beat.

     And where the lone Eagle flew

     Below its high mountain seat

     Prey that saw the raptors beak,

     Also heard the chill wind’s shriek.

      Inspired by the poem
      'There Came a Wind Like a Bugle'
       by Emily Dickinson.
