Great eagle spread your golden wings <br />Above the world, my load to bear <br />Transport me to the realm of kings <br />That I may find some solace there <br /> <br />Across the wooded land to fly <br />Then mingle with the salted air <br />Where`er the silver seagulls cry <br />To thus relinquish all despair <br /> <br />With breeze as sweet as ether`s breath <br />Empyreal, above compare <br />Oh carry me to mystic death <br />Celestial beauty shining fair <br /> <br />Go forth where all good souls are free <br />Above, beyond, without a care <br />Unchained from all that captures me <br />My heart to tether and ensnare <br /> <br />Great eagle spread your golden wings <br />Ascend upon the starlit stair <br />To so unbind above all things <br />This leaden heart, unmasked, laid bare<br /><br />Valerie Dohren<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/great-eagle/
