Through The Eyes Of An Eagle... Poem by Hemakumar Nanayakkara
Through The Eyes Of An Eagle...
White frozen mountain tops
beautifully glisten
Elegantly reflect glamour
right up to the heaven
Powdery crystal frost
sprinkles in swift winds
Blankets of snow cover
summits of highlands
Pure blue glacier water
flows down icy peaks
Slowly runs through
mossy rocks into streams
Reflections of landscapes
visible on still waters
Picturesque lakes located
between high mountains
Fragrant wildflowers bloom
in green meadows
Widely spread evergreen
Pine-woods on the hills
A troop of foxes run together
on thorny fir needles
Tiny little cubs hide inside
underground burrows
Symbol of power freely
floats in distant air
Spreads apart broad
bold wings of elegant flair
Gently circles underneath a
smooth cumulus cloud
King of the sky majestically
lands on grassy ground...

yes...after getting a full circle high view of nature we also had a very smooth landing...along with you and your eagle! a very good poetic eagle eye to say the least!
wow...sounds as if you have taken flight and seen all this wonder through your own eyes.....an eagle could not paint such a picture as this....beautiful...Vallerie
A captivating poem indeed. I love your descriptions of this majestic scene. Well done, my friend. Thank you and my best regards Richard
A truly great and inspiring work. As majestic as the bird itself. Andrew
Beautifully described! Excellent description of the wild described seen from the 'zoom in lenses' of the keenly perceptive and graceful eagle. Excellent work!
Everything came together for me in the last stanza. 'lands on the ground'. This helped me realize that your were describing the descent of the eagle in the above stanzas and what it saw. 'Tiny little cubs hide inside underground burrows' is especially poignant. They and the red foxes flee for safety. A lot of good imagery. Well done.
As seen through the eyes of the eagle the cares of earth must seem very small. A rare write.Very beautiful. Warmest regards, Sandra
