Tough Triumphs

Expanses are  tomorrow's territory 
Horizons amplified by my wing span
Strength developed in feather tapestry
Shifting locale afforded with agile plan


Ocean's edge sends mayhem forceful
Detected slipstream among punishment
Aids spread winged hunt for salty morsels
Harmony on coast's cantankerous currents


Silver seaside high tide grasses kindly submit
Myriad of scurried meals by beak sting stilled 
Sharp penetration permits energy replenished
Distant destination found rewards strong will


Emitted persistence, rhythmic ritual circle
Swirled arcs shrill remarks of dominance
Prevailing patient weathered fellow eagles
Declare stubborn intentions of prominance 


Gathered sighting innately demands I pitch in
Tightly packed muscles drive flight equipment 
Evolution necessitates expiring weak specimen
Keen eyed females favour winners' enrichment


Tormenting mountain draws crazed tenacious 
Rugged random avalanche presents no threat 
Closer to our Maker, my meditation spacious 
Challenge breeds sage old age can't forget 


Hundred mile distant haven spied by astute
Richer realms' conquer deem fear redundant
Headed to adventure, potential not obscured
Tough trend upwards, spiralling triumphant
