Soar Free

where the brave were laid
an eagle guards their bodies. . . . 
their spirits soar free

Again you’re droning on and on and on. Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada. My time for beauty sleep will soon be gone. Why can’t you close your eyes? You know you oughta. Just press those lips together tight and zip! My lids are getting heavy as you talk. So now I offer you this little tip. Why don’t you go outside and take a walk? The clear night air might open up your mind Before you kill the bush you’re beating round. You’re killing ME; I hate to be unkind, But when I start to doze, I hear that sound . . . Yakety, yakety, yakety, yakety, yak. . . Please shut your trap. We’ve long since hit the sack!

very nice write. I like the idea of spirits soaring because it fits so well with the eagle who also can soar.
