Eagle In the Sky

While we floated down the river,
We felt a wind that caused a shiver,
It was quite the sight for sore eyes,
That eagle up in the sky.

There was silence in the air,
All the creatures stopped to stare, 
Up above it looked so heavenly,
The bright yellow sun shone down heavily.

He grasped the crag with crooked claws,
The eagle seems to have no flaws,
If only I could fly so high,
Like that eagle in the sky.
