the eagle soars
his wings held high
immune to evening’s
mayhem nigh
regal eagle
commands the winds
to his hunt
attention pinned
the eagle soars
the auburn sky
with rapt attention
the night can’t pry
ardent upon his throne of air
eagle ignores the chittering
of the smaller birds
and their ceaseless twittering
lofted by private thermals
eagle glides over verdant woods
focused on the fruitful forest
savors secret sacred words
beyond the event horizon
