The Tear of An Eagle

Reaching the highest top in the sky split Lofty upon hours of windy breaks; No nest is the dawn for their winds to fit As untouched spread the country of their fates. An eagle is raising eyes upon a storm; Fights in the wind, the glory of a past. Above a will of power to draw the clouds' form Until the endless of a time their souls outlast. As rain is floating on rivers of wrestling desire For misty roads a bird shall not walk But seek the mystery of earth melting with fire When eagle's tears are falling to land's door like a knock. A windy decision just ending to a wise claw. In desert of guilt eagle's tears their pain withdraw.

Couldn't help but think of this eagle's plight as that of the United States, Valeria. The eagle is our national bird and the nation now "Fights in the wind, the glory of a past." Very powerful imagery. Best wishes in the "tear" contest with this brilliant entry. Carolyn
