ON EAGLES WINGS
Impassioned by profound truth
My quest, as worthy jewels I begin
A journey marked by overwhelming storms.
As the mighty eagle soars, rising upward
Silencing the crushing sounds of battle.
Wind bound, unfettered by time or space.
Cresting heaven-kissed mountains
Climbing higher with no regard
To gaping craters below.
My spirit in one accord, projected by desire
To finish my course, to see majestic heights;
The winding, twisting turburlance only gives
Me strength to reach my destination.
Eloquently I ride the winds of adversities
Descending only to view the jagged rocks below.
I view the scene and in quiet retrospection
There is an overwhelming peace that I have
Weathered the storms of life
Unshackled, I rest in the splendor that is truly mine.
Sarah Claudette Bratcher
A great symbol of determiation and confidence as we pursue of life's desires. Quite inspirational.

I like the unique and provoking way u use the metaphor to bring out the essence of this inspirational poem, Sarah. I've always thought the eagle is a magestic animal, always alert and striking as he grips the mountain top with his talons... Indeed a great way to symbolise one's life. Smilez.
