The Eagle Poem

Why is the eagle flying?
Where is he going?
What makes him spread his wings and leave this secure ground for
the unpredictable skies?

As I watch this happen, I wonder, am I the one who sees him, or is he
the one who sees me?

In his flight, I recognize something very close to my heart, but still,
something I cannot grasp at or understand.

As he graciously floats, surrendering his body to the natural rhythm
of the wind and singing along to an unknown melody of silence, I
come across this simple, yet beautiful truth…. suddenly, my mind
stops…the noise shutters…it's the lesson of letting go.

This realization unchains my body and raises the veils from my eyes
as I now find myself flying alongside this amazing creature.

We fly together for a while… in complete silence… none of us being
capable of expressing this wonderful joy.

As we fly, seconds become years and minutes become ages…I can
hear my mind’s tangled calling, but its voice cannot reach me no
more. We are embracing infinity and infinity embraces us.

But something happens…
