“Long revered by a multitude of cultures, the Eagle symbolizes courage, strong foundations that lead to new heights, and a sense of adventure. Eagle people are seen as visionaries, those who are seekers and who are willing to push the limits of self-discovery and personal freedom.”©Totem Wisdom
Golden Eagle
A raptor formed from days of dinosaurs—
the largest and most nimble- it is said
our Golden Eagle flies with highest scores
for fear. Neath clouds, heroic wings are spread
with grace, but carry death- talons, and beak
his tools of killing prowess honed to hunt
down prey in tree or nest from mountain peak-
adept at swooping down, sharp eyes confront.
Yet, as a symbol, Golden Eagle gleams;
from fledgling on, his strength presents a sign-
a calling to be etched in cultures' dreams.
His courage symbolized- with him aligned:
The aspirations to attain new heights—
and self-discovery through soaring flights.
