This Eagle

soaring above
my spirits 
this eagle 

in his eyes
the whole world
in view

in mine
tears
of yesterday’s 
pain
wingless

If we let ourselves, we may borrow his perspective until we can see more clearly the path that lies ahead. This is an intriguing write, my friend :) hugs

Hate to hear about those tears my friend when with your talent you should be soaring like an Eagle. Loved your poem but not the sadness I feel for you. So, let me sing to you..."Fly Sandy Fly, on the road to victory." Just looking for a smile. : )

Aww thank you my friend adorable song. How can one not smile after that ? I almost feel bad saying there are no tears though just poetic expression. I was watching the eagle on my way to work. He inspired me ... hugs :)
