Eagle Cry

Shining down upon veiled earth
watched by ever paler moon
Still I am alive, but I fear
for you my end is soon

Awake always with a throabing
croak or a distaint cry.
I understand not why you battle me
for I am you and you are I

Hidden within my expanses
Bursting shades of emeral greens
I am the world of my people
The people the world of my dreams

Living inside my interior
fwd by that which surrounds
My people and I are one,
they hunt I adsorb there sound

Before I turn to burnt out ash
nothing left, but rot
Remember please
my people know
what yours so long ago forgot
