Eagle On Wings Poem by Valsa George
Eagle On Wings
Have you watched an eagle in flight?
On wings flayed, it looks a massive kite
It shoots into the heights with unlabored ease
Enjoying the kiss of passing breeze
Quickly disappearing into the seamless sky
It becomes invisible to every gazing eye
Is there any other bird so awesomely regal
As this avian king in grandeur proverbial?
Over crags and peaks it flies aloft
Displaying many an aerial feat
Soaring, circling, diving and dipping
It springs and sways on wings flapping
With unassailable might, it braves the wind
Pushing aside every obstacle behind
Gliding solitary over the sailing cloud
To which territory it sneaks away from the crowd?
Who can ignore this wonderful sight?
When an eagle elegantly takes off in flight
No other bird can soar to such height
And none can beat it in its might
With an unmatched range of wider vision
How it spots its prey with precision
So intent and focused on its decision
Nothing on Earth can give it any diversion
With sharp talons and a curved beak
And strength enough to subdue the meek
It swoops down over the ones that cower
And preys upon what it wants to devour
Oh bird of grace! You are never fettered
The entire sky you have verily conquered
You enjoy the upward thrust of a storm
And across its current coolly swim
Let us soar like an eagle on wings
And shoot into the sky in spiral rings
Propelling forward to still greater heights
As this dweller of the sky in never failing spirits!
This poem Eagle On Wings is deliberately chosen for the occasion!
Eagle is a symbol of strength and freedom and is the national bird of the United States. We humans have a lot to emulate from this bird, its ability to shoot into great altitudes, its tenacity, its sharp vision, its focus of purpose, its indefatigable vitality, its care and concern in bringing up the young ones, its tactics in teaching the young ones to fly….. even, its caution in choosing its mate etc… etc.
I humbly invite all of you to read this poem and give your comments!
Very astute prose comments - worthy of a 300th poem! My take on the EAGLE is (LET'S SAY) complicated because it is the USA National Bird and associated with the military and the use of violence in policy. I can't escape those negative connections. B-U-T it's not the eagle's fault - it is at the top of the food chain, a superb flyer and hunter, the ne plus ultra of birds that coast on air waves with their huge wingspan. O eagle, you are the Master!
we support you 'cause you give us inspiration, not for nothing you are my favorite poet.-10
(cont.) as in '3: to open or spread outward the pants flare at the bottom', a definition from Google dictionary source. : ) bri
I'm sure your use of the word 'flayed' is incorrect in line 2. Perhaps you meant 'flared'? ? ? ? bri ;)
