Your imagination and inspiration

Grazing my spirit with their laughter
Coloring me in...

THE EAGLE

From sheer Jurassic precipice he soared
Surveyed the land for gifts it might afford

Across the broad flat valley’s rich domain

She felt his presence by her side
Her first reaction – unimpressed.
She turned her head, a toss of hair,
The situation she assessed.

Maybe it was the dauntless smile
Perhaps the wicked twinkling eyes
