An Eagles Final Quest
By
Daniel Finch

Mother Nature blinks her eye
another millennium flashes by
The graceful eagle spreads his wings
soaring up higher to the heavens and sings
Tortures and pains behind, leaving this place
His final quest from the human race
Painless and free No apathy
Wings spread so wide they shield the sun
his wingtips brim with fire, all will be done
Resting upon his wings I can see
deepest emotions soon to be set free
Fluttering wings his head hung low
reality abounds, it's time to go
A tiny dark speck into the sun is all that remains
an unmerciful sea of fire pulling his reigns
Standing at the gate awaiting his greet
passing through the great white light where others meet
His journey has ended
a broken heart......un-mend
