One afternoon, I went for a walk.
It was such a bright and sunny day.
As I saw the beauty of nature talk,
I took a rest in the quiet shade.
From under a tree, I look and see
Clouds and birds flying everywhere.
One creature does not lose my view.
flying up there freely without a care,
I ask myself does he think, I wonder
is he enjoying his adventure through?
Feeling a bit jealous, I ponder this,
In my spot as I lose consciousness
Before I know it, I'm having a dream.
I awake feeling fine from where I was.
I recall the scene, wow! What a vision.
In my dream ... there was an eagle.
And the eagle just happened to be me!
I was flying above every any other bird.
I remember going through those clouds
higher up I went climbing the horizon,
to the very skins of the atmosphere.
I thought 'most any other wouldn't dare
penetrate it for fear of the other side
but with me, I just had to see!
So I decided to hold my breath
and get a quick glimpse of what was beyond!
piercing through that last of the gas, I see
stars twinkling and the moon looked so large and close,
I wanted to reach out, just to touch it!
Wow! What a fantastic experience.
I swiftly return to a point of safety,
thinking of what I just saw!
sinking slowly back into the air,
I feel it tickling my wings
and caressing my body,
as I safely glide back to the earth,
with such a serene feeling of ecstacy.
after landing,
I took a deep sigh and rested a while,
Then off I went again...
after that... I awoke.
Many will say, eagles can't fly that high.
But, I'll just smile and give my reply...
