Subj: Ode to the Eagle
As it is the year of the Eagle, I'd like to bother you with my ode to this magnificent creature.
On air I sail, regally soaring
I feel the caress of the wind on my cheek
Through the clouds I cleave preying, diving
No escaping the clasp of my beak
Fearful rodents flee screeching
Back to their burrows they go
Swooping down, my talons come reaching
Grasping and hoisting prey from below
Death usually comes swiftly in flight
Necks snap so easily on the way back
Soaring up high, my aerie in sight
My recent young I hurriedly track
Silently they've been waiting for me
They start calling as I come near
I land on the rim and answer their plea
Looking on lovingly as tiny beaks tear
Of all the spirits I host
I sincerely love eagle the most
Love,
Julya
***Alba Aquila***
White Eagle, Alba Aquila
my Inspiration
tell me the taste of
cloud cutting, hunting the sky
with sharp eyes, talons wide
freedom clenched in mobility
faith indomitable nobility
soaring vast as lightening
impenetrable as love
diving doom unstoppable
judgement from above
White Eagle, Alba Aquila
