AN AMERICAN EAGLE
One who personifies eagles With feathers engraved on a ring of gold Cower not to your detractors Soar to heights like ancestors of old
Shake off the dust of your conditions in the sky your perspective adjusts Take yourself to peaceful overlooks Where waters ripple below the island's bluff
What have you spoken? He asks his detractor I could not accept it As I fly with feathers gray
My gaze meets the American Eagle who spoke to me through the glint in his eye You are like me the noticed Fly, fly, fly
