Rainbow

RAINBOW

Somewhere over the rainbow.
I want to fly like a bird I know.

Among the clouds and mountains high.
Over valleys far below the sky. 

Wing span long, I'm an eagle.
Feathers rustle in winds too feeble.

Rising on hot air, circling wide.
On the horizon, I see the tide.

Over forests and rivers deep.
Beween the trees animals creep.

When they see my shadow overhead.
Fearsome, strong, wings spread.

Talons sharp as I dive below.
Grab my prey, they run too slow.

Over the rainbow I reign supreme.
Of all I survey, I am the queen.

Sorry about the FREE TEXT KNICKERS folks. It's for Silent One's contest. I can't seem to enter each one individually.

We have reintroduced golden eagles to a national park here, about a half hour's drive from me. Twice recently I have seen three together, in the countryside close to town. Amazing. You just stand and gape Jan.
