The Eagles Essence

The Eagles Essence

An eagle
Fly's above the lands
Upon a perch 
he so proudly stands

With a swift glide
To the ground
He lands 

gladly not to shaky hands
But he remains
A wild soul with plans

Cascading past the clouds
Floating with the breeze
Majestically 
with ease

A golden essence drowns his feathers
Grappling at its prey
Clutched tight as it severs

Not a chance to stand
His dinner now devoured
Gone no morsel left of his catch
Off he fly's 
to find his match
