["The Eagle's Realm," written sometime during the mid-1960s, first appeared in Quintessence and was later included in my first poetry chapbook, The Lady in the Pink Hat, Candor Press, 1969.]
High above the sun-bleached shore Between blue sea and blue sky Lonely, silent world unreached Home of those who soar The tranquil skies. Whose wings spread and shadow Suspended on a weaving current Stretch and relax in constant flight. They nest atop the cragged tor Open to wind and rain, and raise Their young to glide Between high heaven and low shore Where clouds float and lie Inert, the eagle's realm.
