The Eagle

I hear the eagle’s cry
far overhead.
Its beauty pierces
my heart to its depths--
lifting its wings
soaring the skies
riding the currents
into infinity.
So fierce.
So solitary.

Something within me
stirs to life
as I watch its circling
and I listen to its song.
I feel a mix
of kinship and longing.
I feel its strength
and its freedom.
And I know
I could be like that.

Henry Ford once said, "If you think you can or think you can't, you are always right". And so Christina, since you "Know that you could be like that", Then I am sure, too, that you have both that strength and freedom to soar like the eagle! Your writing encouraged me! Thank you. Love, Leah
