Great Eagle Poem by Valerie Dohren

Great Eagle

Rating: 4.8


Great eagle spread your golden wings
Above the world, my load to bear
Transport me to the realm of kings
That I may find some solace there

Across the wooded land to fly
Then mingle with the salted air
Where`er the silver seagulls cry
To thus relinquish all despair

With breeze as sweet as ether`s breath
Empyreal, above compare
Oh carry me to mystic death
Celestial beauty shining fair

Go forth where all good souls are free
Above, beyond, without a care
Unchained from all that captures me
My heart to tether and ensnare

Great eagle spread your golden wings
Ascend upon the starlit stair
To so unbind above all things
This leaden heart, unmasked, laid bare

Mark Twain once wrote; The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter, it's the difference between the lightning bug and lightning. You have certainly mastered the lightning part. Nice Flowing motion of words.

A beautiful poem, I think we all need to be free of everything, only if it's for a short time. Just to have total peace, no fears no pain and no hurt, just peace. A great write.
