Free As An Eagle (Poetry)

One day I will fly
I have it in me
I feel that flutter
air nudging feathers
the light sensation

My wings are tucked in
where none can see them
a curled energy
that saves itself for
the time to be right

It might be a while ...
Doubt fills this life span
where pain hugs the ground
and bogs the soul down
this flesh all dead weight

Thought has no substance
drifts on a thermal
caught on warm currents
skips gravity’s hold
sky-wandering free

Dream’s destination
that bright blue yonder
wind under my tail
the world spread below
I soar eagle-high
