The Brave One

All danger be damned
Unconcerned and unafraid
The brave one lingers.

Here’s Baldy

Here is baldy
Strong and fierce
Against a brilliant blue sky
To be this close
To be here, right now
How fortunate am I?!
~ Rich ~

This Way and That

The eagles they pause
Surveying this way and that
Always vigilant.
~ Rich ~

Wings

Wings to soar
Wings to fly
Wings on which I rise
Over earth, into the eternal sky

Wings of force
Wings of skill
Wings on which I glide
Over earth, until I make the kill.

Wings so wide
Wings so strong
Wings on which I reign
Over earth, my entire life-long.

This Beautiful Bird

This beautiful bird
A vision of dignified might
Never does it fail
To take my breath at the sight
~ Rich ~

There is Beauty

 

There is beauty
Despite foul political winds
There is beauty
Removed from others selfish ends
There is beauty
When things don’t go our way
There is beauty
Even on our darkest day
There is beauty
When it all seems lost
There is beauty
When we can’t count the cost
There is beauty
Inherent in the cycles of life
There is beauty
Within days of challenge and strife.

Days like today, perhaps?

The beauty is there
If we will only look.
~ Rich ~

Deadly Serious

The intensity is clear to see
Within this eagle’s eyes
It’s a deadly serious endeavor
This battle to survive.

The struggle is very real
There is no time to rest
So fight on, dear brave one
Give it your very best.
~ Rich ~
