The Eagle/The Sultan/The Me

in the dream i am the eagle

in search of blissful locations-a nest for potential stay
i decide to live nomadic-for an eternity

on the ground i see the angst...i can hear the hearts giving birth to thoughts

in the sleep i am the exiled sultan
after my throne is snatched in the morning,i stand outside of my kingdom's gate in the noon...
i look into the forever and walk into the portrait of the unknown

when i awake i am the boy...anticipating journey
i am alone...i am stone...lost
i am the rope bound victim...subject to societal torture,the molestation of the mind

i am running trying to fly
I AM the Eagle

Kalonji, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this wonderful verse. In dreams, I am often flying, just like "the eagle." A heart as tender as yours will never be "stone." Love, Carolyn
