I can hear it again, the shrill distant eagle’s cry
Tugging at my soul
When I look up, there he is
Hovering gracefully in the sky above
And sometimes perched on a tree nearby
Perhaps quietly watching my life go by
What do you see from afar
What secrets do you hold
You presence everyday is a mystery
Are you an angel or a messenger, sent to watch over me
Do you tell the master above
What games on earth are played
Or do you soar to open skies
To escape an earth defiled
PS: Keen to hear about any mythological/ cultural connotations; beliefs or symbolism associated with eagles! Or even your favourite eagle story!
