"The Story of Arthur and the Eagle"
On the wings of an
eagle he flies, and me clumsy
and earthbound as I am,
watch in silent adoration.

He is my Angel, Nay
he is my God,
does he even know I'm watching him
does he even know I exist.

I guess it doesn't matter.

He is truly marvelous to behold,
in flight, in form,
he leaves me lost
in breathless wonder.

I ask myself
what it would be like,
to be held in those delicate wings.
Could those mighty pinions
carry me off at his meerest whim.

His whole baring is blest,
his form seems
kissed by the southern winds,
even when the gales are still and silent.
And his eyes reflect calm of the sea.

What does he see with those gentle eyes,
can he see me up there
among the clouds.
How do I look to him I wonder,
am I just some tiny lord
of an even more mythical kingdom.

How does he know me,
Why do those graceful wings touch me so deeply,
How can he stay so aloft
when I know his soul is burden
by so much.

Would that my love
could lift me up to him,
that we could fly as one,
or that he could maybe know my world
and join me here.

But alas,
I fear my dream shall never be,
For we are torn,
sepparated by a chasm grand enough
that a blind man could see.

Where from this abysmal
distance sprang,
or how these damnable walls
came to be,
I know not.

All I know is that they're here now,
and all the love I have
cannot span their width,
or smash their stone...
