I always wonder what the perception of me looks like in the mirror of life. Who am I For I have no face for you to ponder Only an image that you can create As you ponder my words As my name takes flight Is the eagle flying directly into your storm In young wings strong with youth and ambition Or the wings of wisdom and training Am I on a warpath of beauty in native pride A skeleton that crossed the sea An import from another time Or a figment of someone’s imagination In my stature tall in the words that reach the heavens Or something so small you want to bury it much like a bone Do I roll like a bowling ball knocking the pins of life down Or skinny enough to be a penciled in with thought Does my heart lives in a splendid garden of luxurious wealth That spread for miles upon miles Or a pauper so poor his eyes weep in the majesty That creates the masterpieces money cannot buy Do you see me as a brute with a driving force Never letting anything get in my way of succeeding Or a lonely soul with a heart of gold That is waiting for his time to succeed with his smiling words Will I create an image of ice and lace That melts you so, wrapping you up for the moment Or will I attach to you as memory that make you ponder On the trails of your discoveries taking their own flight Yes do not know me for that is okay Read me into your thoughts and I will forgive you Conjure up a verse from a long lost memory That listens to the wind sing its beautiful song For my spirit will be there at anytime Helping to teach the mists of time to feel itself grow In the presence of this readers view In any shape that you can imagine D.Lester Young (02/07/02) Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle poetry) writtenbyme.com name=davelyoung1 authorsden.com AuthorID=5012 |

White Eagle, we see through a glass darkly...but your words reflect the beauty of your soul. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

What others see in you is never as important as what you see in yourself. A very special person keeps nudging me back on that path, it is a tough lesson to learn especially when we have no guide!! You are wonderful and inspirational! Please, kind sir, just know this!!! Just believe... |
