When the eagle soars
quietly, upon the skies
you sit beneath, may you
feel your dominion lessen
and allow all control to cease.
The eagle searches only for food
a place to roost and to exist.
He does not own, dictate or
expect, he does not feel
entitled, nor does he kill,
indiscriminately,
his is a simple task, to live and survive
this wonderful day he’s been given.
For dverse poets Poetics: Written in Stone
I was thinking on the entrance to the wilds, a natural place where words were carved in the stones.

What an inviting entrance this poem is, Di! It’s at once a blessing and a wise instruction on how to proceed, welcoming us into nature’s sanctuary. I like the emphasis on the reverence of life, taken not “indiscriminately.” Beautifully written! Thanks for joining in this prompt.🤗
Thank you so much Dora. 🙂
My absolute pleasure. 💖
This is beautiful. The eagle’s living from an instinct of thrust.
Much♡love
Thank you 🙂
Lovely!
Thank you 🙂
I can imagine your poem carved in the stones, Dianne, and it is the perfect welcome to a wild place, where I can sit and watch an eagle soar.
Thank you Kim 🙂
We can learn a lot from nature…. but that don’t give us cars so we have chosen another path to build what we call wealth.
Yes, what we call it…such a shame.
One with nature.
this is a blessing to be inscribed on the entry Tina National Park perhaps?
I have never been to Tina National Park but I would love to go. The photo of the sea eagle was taken at place called Maaroom on the Sandy Straits. It’s my favourite place close to home, on the edge of the Poona National Park. Not as impressive as Tina but still a beautiful place to just be with nature.
Beautiful writing, it does sound like something that could have easily be read in some nook or cave somewhere as well.
Thank you, it would be nice if we could see things like that in little spaces in the wild.
Respect nature and the creatures in this earth. Love the message Di!
Thank you Grace 🙂
We could learn so much. What a pity we never do 😦
It is a pity 😦

Nicely done! Perhaps we could all learn from the eagle to simply live and survive, without greed or malice!
