Eagles squeak, like rusty clothesline
From times of long ago.
They pearch atop a tall spruce tree,
The branches bending low.

They wait, I think, with eagle-eyes
For breakfast to appear.
The field mice roaming down below
Unknowing, have no fear.

Canadian Geese announce their approach.
Their synchronized dance forms a V.
They honk their hello and goodbye
And I KNOW they are honking to me.

The sky, pale blue, backdrops the trees.
The sun is shinning bright.
The trees look dark against the sky,
Pronouncing magnificent height!

From the spruce the eagles soar,
Screaming their goodbyes.
Acres of grass as green as crayon,
Beneath as the huge birds rise.

Black of body,white of head,
A Wing-span, beyond measure.
The air vibrates as they fly by.
I get goosebumps of pleasure.

How blessed I feel! How blessed I AM!
What a breathtaking, scenic view.
A morning treasure of nature alive
With sights and sounds that are new.

Thank you, God, for letting me see
The treasures that are REAL!
Beautiful, panoramic treasue.
The kind that no-one can steal.

If the eagles die and trees get cut,
If we tear this world apart,
Thank you God for the memories
I'll keep within my heart.

 "Bring it on baby what you getting into...
I swear at once it was the little things that mattered--
But it all seems true to you.
Say the hell with my name and say the hell with my picture...
but swear, for the one time you need me around.
And here I'll stand like it matters...
Only once love gets through then gets scattered by the rain...
But pain gives me the right to be unkind"...

Well, I missed this one too, but I think that was because I was off enjoying some time at the beach with those really nice ladi--OOPS! Forget I said that!!

Your poem shows so much vivid imagery, I feel like I'm there looking up at them...wish I could go as fast as them! Thanks for the captivating read!
