it's a small but deadly stab
and the great eagle...dazed
half smiles
the stab does not even show
it will be alright
and in titanic convulsions
the fire erupts again
and bleeds...
he is FLYING!.......HIGHER!
I'll be alright he half smiles
and dies
and in the morning he is filled
with a sad peace
he is....
sad peace....
for he once could fly...
