Eagle's Journey

Goodbye said the Eagle

To the birds on the wing

I’m of to the land

Where the honey bird sings

The journey is long

And over the seas

To resolve my mystery

In a forest of trees

With one accord

Voices floated free

Nature’s pure harmony

Played through the leaves

Eagle travelled for days

While courting the skies

Told them the truth

And undid all lies

Into the darkness

Where nature held breath

The Bird of Paradise

Stirred in its nest

I’m here said the Eagle

To unravel a knot

Where is my crown

That the good lord forgot

I’m as bald as a parrot

From a night on the town

Something to cover it

Or else I must drown

Out came the Owl

Blinking his eyes

Looked at the eagle

And laughed till he cried

Tears hit the grass

And made them all soggy

The Owl caught a cold

And said he was sorry

The Eagle looked long

A patient of virtue

Took to his wings

While Finch did a curtsey

Went back to his home

Wiser and clear

It was all in his head

And the rest was just fear.
