The Eagle

You're the ablest creature 
That can fly high without blinking 
The wonders of nature 
Are always yours for the seeing 

You stare directly at the sun
Daring to challenge its shine 
With your claws that stun 
You seem to defy the test of time 

But I still could not fathom 
Why your heart was so rigid 
You left my heart so gravely torn 
Praying, still and frigid 

You made my heart your prey 
My riddled soul was left to wonder 
With your claws of trickery 
Why on earth did I blunder? 

You're an eagle on my horizon 
That torn my heart in two 
But one day I'll be reborn 
For I'm an eagle too
