The Eagle

I wrote this after witnessing in front of my truck driving 65mph a bald eagle swoop down right in front about 16 feet and snatch some road kill off the pavement.

The Eagle

Swaying swiftly, the movement catches the ‘eye’, straight down is the flight, no fear, no remorse intended, the survival is suddenly enlightened. The ‘eye’ meets the terrified and startled slumbering soul, of the little creature that was to be the intended fulfill. Behold the ‘eye’, and the revelation of habitual remorse, Let go just this once.

Wonderful... Full of imagery. I've seen theses beautiful birds swoop down and catch a rainbow trout, just as it leaped out of the lake feeding on mosquitoes. Catching it in the grasp of its claws while the fish was still in the air. Pure precision of the Eagles Eye. Spectacular Birds.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of the American Bird. I'm inspired now to write something of the Eagle.
