The Eagle

Soaring alone,
above the clouds, its eyes
pierce far, sharp and sure.
Not waiting, not wondering,
it knows what’s needed
and dives.

A bird of prey,
fearless and relentless,
striking with a power
matched only by thunder.
Wings wide, cutting the sky,
unbroken, steady,
a force that commands.

Talons grip tightly,
what cannot escape,
gripping life in its claws,
pulling through the wind.

Strength carries the storm,
and the eagle never wavers,
carving its path
through skies wild and free.
Purposeful, alone.
It reigns, swift and sure,
a hunter without hesitation.
