eagle

who are you that flies so high

above the earth where i stand?

do you see me as a living being

like yourself

or am i like a tree with life

unmovable

and embedded in terra firma?

i envy you

a free spirit

though you are rooted

in the land like me.

i have no wings on the outside.

my wings soar on the inside

so i cannot reach you.

yet i believe in the ephemeral

we are sisters

you and me, totally different

yet the same in god’s universe.
