The eagle landed without a sound High in the tree top quietly settled down Fluffing ruffling each feather put in place Sitting down to rest with regal grace The butterfly fluttered landing gently Tender fragile wings beautiful to see Tiny feet cling to the swaying petals Colors blending as she silently settles The eagle moves only his imperial head His eyes seeing all before it fled The butterfly sits and tries not to move But knowing it will become eagle food He does swoop down and oh so gently Takes her to the tree top with him to be And tries to tell her she is safe He'll protect her in his lofty place The eagle and butterfly strange as it seems Are help-mates and live on moon beams She can smooth his ruffled feathers He protects her through all weathers Fly..fly it is all open sky Around you great majesty does lie But don't soar too close to the sun You have fought the fight and won |

an unlikely symbiosis tis true but isnt that what dreams are made of? these vivid images tease the mind. lovely. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

This is sweet. I don't think a buttefly need worry about being prey for an eagle, but a cherished friend? Perhaps. Joyce |

pegasus111, dreams can be deceptive, right? Joyce,our eagle would never hurt a fragile butterfly. So it must be love. |

Solstice Son, thanks. I so often think "Boy, does that couple really belong together?" And I guess they do if they want to. BloomingRose, it is a dream that all could live side by side, right? Thanks for the answer |
