The eagle circles high above the canyon caves <br />the dolphin leaps through the ocean waves <br />as we walk the promise land <br />our heads held high giving not a helping hand <br />The eagle my brother using his gift of sight <br />flies higher than most into the night <br />below he sees a crying young man <br />with compassion he lands as only he can <br />the young man explains that he is lost <br />I asked for help, but at what cost <br />The eagle my brother with power wings <br />picked up the young man and started to sing <br />the love he heard was ever so clear <br />as he was held by my brother so near <br />so thick and armor plated was his heart <br />that nothing could penetrate <br />the young man had to go and isolate <br />The dolphin my brother lives in the seven seas <br />with angry young men who couldn't live in harmony <br />the pain of loneliness was their only bond <br />which helped them live on the world's largest pond <br />the wisest of all on the highest high sea <br />The dolphin my brother with his sonar engaged <br />found the buried pain that has kept me caged <br />the dolphin my brother with love in his eyes <br />sends me back to Where Eagles Fly <br />the pain of loneliness and fears of mine <br />are cancelled by my brothers' love combined<br /><br />James Pendleton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-eagles-fly-5/
