ECSTASY
20 August 1986

My eagle, who taught me how to fly,
Remember the freedom of the blue
blue skies, and the sun
that warmed our wings.
Remember how we dipped
and swirled
and twirled
and dived
and pierced the clouds,
together.
Remember?
Remember.

I remember. Although I could hardly believe my eyes. I thought I was having those LSD flashback they always said I was going to have. But you two were beautiful high in the sky as you dove and dipped and glided. Yes, I remember.

It shouldn't be so difficult for eagles of this kind to soar and keep on soaring, but this world we're in here is strange sometimes.

I enjoyed reading your poem here very much!

Thank you, Faith.  I am glad you found it so.

Thank you, easy for your appreciative comments.

Thank you, graying1.  Of course, you may borrow a feather – in fact enough to be able to fly!  I have plenty.  Smiles.
