Day 22 - 4/22/2023

 Day 22 - 4/22/2023

So how do I know you're an Eagle?

Because I have seen you soar!

I have watched you

Shoot skyward

With grace and graciousness

Savoring the

Moments...made...more

Daydreaming other realities

Into reality

Despite gravity

With gravitas

(Because Eagles have attitude...

Have earned attitude)

Sweeping across stages

Visiting with voices

As equals

Smiling through suffering

Standing up to dissenters

Because you see

Soarin'...ain't easy

It takes effort

To face fears

That come in crushing

Desperate to drag you 

Downward

But I have seen you soar

Because of your heart

Heaving your entire essence

Into efforts you feel

You feel so deeply

You have done the work

With wings not weighted

With worrying whether

Others will see it

I have watched you glide

Because you gave

Your all

Your everything

To reach great heights

And though life is not

Always crystalline

Curtain calls come and go

And the future is never

In full focus

In the midst of daily madness

And though favored friends

Can fail or fade away

Into illumination

Unleashing emotions

And unrelenting uncertainty

Sending shadier souls

Scattering...scared

You soar

Because you share yourself

You realize the risk

And yet you rise to it

You comprehend

And continue

To choose charity

Champion compassion

You face gale force

Without faltering

So coast casually

Of freefall without fear

Or soar

You are an Eagle

Eagles soar
