Antephialtic
Fir dreams of a bald eagle
perched on its highest twig
kaleidoscope of the Great Spirit
that overlooks the valley
the faraway mountain peaks and
inspects: irises, peaks and lenses
capturing infinity
echoes and views, sighs and sobs
of birds and leaves rustling
of branches dead and creaking
playful winds
indocile children of the Almighty
mesmerizing the bald eagle
wings ready for the challenge
talons sharpened for the catch
as it is allotted to him
