Eagle On Wings

Have you watched an eagle in flight? On wings flayed, it looks a massive kite It shoots into the heights with unlabored ease Enjoying the kiss of passing breeze Quickly disappearing into the seamless sky It becomes invisible to every gazing eye Is there any other bird so awesomely regal As this avian king in grandeur proverbial? Over crags and peaks it flies aloft Displaying many an aerial feat Soaring, circling, diving and dipping It springs and sways on wings flapping With unassailable might, it braves the wind Pushing aside every obstacle behind Gliding solitary over the sailing cloud To which territory it sneaks away from the crowd? Who can ignore this wonderful sight? When an eagle elegantly takes off in flight No other bird can soar to such height And none can beat it in its might With an unmatched range of wider vision How it spots its prey with precision So intent and focused on its decision Nothing on Earth can give it any diversion With sharp talons and a curved beak And strength enough to subdue the meek It swoops down over the ones that cower And preys upon what it wants to devour Oh bird of grace! You are never fettered The entire sky you have verily conquered You enjoy the upward thrust of a storm And across its current coolly swim Let us soar like an eagle on wings And shoot into the sky in spiral rings Propelling forward to still greater heights As this dweller of the sky in never failing spirits!
