Path Back Home

I’m drawn to her beauty as she is perched on the cliff that overlooks a dark and irate sea capped in white. Fortissimo is displaced with each wave breaking against the rocks.  The Eagle‘s vision surpasses my own as she breaks from her resting place. Fighting the wind she finds both mate and currant and in contrast to the dreary day glides on last night’s peaceful dreams and well wishes. Those ashen clouds wet with mist, has touched all in its path including myself for the monotone color of the day is overwhelming. I wrap tight my woolen sweater and wait for the returning of the sun, as I continue my path back home.

My Dear Writing Friend,
Well written poem that brought my minds eye to stand with you and see your write. A pair of eagle’s live on my homestead, they patrol with their ever-watching eyes. They remind me of the Great Mystery, always watching, nothing escaping attention.
I loved your choice of word with the use of “fortissimo”, my first encounter I believe with this jewel. It made your word tapestry brilliant in color. Its definition is listed below in case another whom might not know its meaning needs this piece of puzzle. A joy to read!

somehow I have a couple of Eagles that vacation with me most winters I'm not sure how or why they show up after New Years and Stay a short spell and I long to see them each year.
Most days when I am outside there are sounds within sounds but I wanted the waves to thunder above all else. :) thank you so much for your kind words.

A rousing tale with splendid imagery, depicting the free spirit of the mighty eagle !

Stirringly penned indeed !
