Imprisoned Eagle
In a dark and malicious cave, screeching and
crying is heard. They are the screams and cries
of a beautiful young eagle.
Tears flow out of its sky blue eyes; it is imprisoned.
Its feathers are falling out like flowers that
are thrown into the furnace. One of its wings is broken
but the other survives.
"How did I get here?" asks the eagle. The young
eagle, out of curiosity, steps out of its boundaries of
the beauty of life and nature. It got here to this dark
and malicious cave in the forest of its soul.
"How do I get out of here?" asks the young
eagle. Silent is his world of pain in his curiosity.
The poor young broke eagle starts to doubt
that he will ever get out of those chains; so, he
waits for his fate.
Then, there appears a beautiful eagle with golden
feathers, and asks the young eagle why it is crying.
The young eagle respnds, " I am chaine and imprisoned,
bloodied and broken. I will nevr get out of here, so, I
await my doom."
The golden eagle tells him what to do in order to get out
of this misery. "In order to become unchained, you must
think of your home of beauty and nature, instead of doubt
and sadness."
Before the young eagle starts to think, it asks the golden
eagle its name. "I am You. I am Your soul."
The chains are broken and his wing is mended. He brakes
the cave with his claws of majesty and starts to soar in the
early rising of the sun.
The golden eagle is no where to be found but in the depths
of the Soul.
"I am You. I am Your Soul."
