I see the majesty of the eagle
While he sees the inspiration of the sky
I marvel at his grace and wingspan
He needs no audience to fly
My feet are earthbound as long
As I stare beneath and sigh
I too…have sky
dversepoets.com Quadrille Monday and the word is sky. Exactly 44 words excluding the title.

Oh, YES.
Such an amazing perspective here, Mary. We ALL have sky.
LOVE this:
“He needs no audience to fly”
Sometimes I can get so focused on results, on reactions, that I forget I am free to fly. How wonderful.

It is so easy to imagine the wings of an eagle soaring above it all. I used to have flying dreams, in which I would simply rise and sail above the world below just above rooftops. They were marvelous dreams. I wish they would return!

I would love to see an eagle fly, Mary; thank you for sharing the experience in your quadrille. I love the juxtaposition of the ‘inspiration of the sky’ and ‘my feet are earthbound’ to remind us of the eagle’s freedom to explore the sky and earth from a different vantage point, and that, in the end, we do have sky.
