"I see beyond," she says.
"I see with the vision
of an Eagle. What many
do not see...I can see."
She offers her arm
to the Eagle as he hovers
in weightless flight. She
offers more than a perch
it is a connection
with the brave spirits
of mighty men, of warriors.
Her heart is gladdened
as the Eagle passes over
just a shadow haunting
her heart with surprise,
with a secret admiration.
She sees herself floating
weightlessly in the heavens,
white clouds lifting her
to altitudes only dreamed of.
And, she marvels at
the beauty of her new dark
feathers, glossy brown
with a yellow breastplate.
She and the Eagle sharing in
the secrets of fanciful flight,
of gliding strength,
and of power.
