My keen sight caught the stare <br />of a silver eagle soaring through the air <br />Quiet, yet strong at the pulling <br />of my heart. Why do I feel this force <br />pulling closer? For I am a loner. <br />I cannot stay. Silver eagle fly, fly. <br />Please! go away or this lone eagle and <br />I've soared to heights unknown by mortal man. <br />for my teacher is of a higher power, whom <br />teaches me to find good in all mankind, <br />yet to watch with the keenest of eyes, <br />and to know and understand <br />that there is also evil in the hearts of man. <br />and as the lone eagle, I am fearless in <br />life and flight and no one has <br />ever tamed this wild, imaginated heart. <br />For loner is all it's ever known and <br />it is always reaching for higher things. <br />So the cliffs and rocks that hide this heart <br />are of the strongest this life has ever known. <br />But you, Silver Eagle keep pushing through <br />with your silver wings that cover me with <br />warm and tender webs of love. <br />Souring through torn and broken pieces of <br />a heart, not knowing human love. <br />I must fly away for fear will not let me <br />stay. But if you love me enough to conquer <br />my fear, then fly to me again someday <br />and I will forever with you stay.<br /><br />Darlene Shreve Bennett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lone-eagle-meets-silver-eagle/
