LONE EAGLE

A Poem by Laurence David Sterling III

like a lone eagle you soar
in the deep blue cloudless skies of this earth
let no man be your master
no weakling be your ally

a sole inspiration to the wingless beings below
you ride the winds with majesty
you tease the earth that attempts to capture you
you trumpet your name so even the angels can hear

lone eagle, angels keep you
for there are those who wish your death
they covet your wings, your noble heart
they wish to deny you the freedoms they can not have

soar on eagle
in a moment of worship remember we
that can not soar the same as thee
