    Take flight

    An eagle perches atop the mountain
    Gazing, watching with focused eyes
    He wants to give, to help and support
    And catch the ocean as it dives
    But before he soars to save the sea
    His wings must grow, they’re far too short

    Months pass as he watches the waves
    His wings grow long and feathered, petite
    He’s ready now and spreads his arms openly
    All the creatures in the cliff watch and wonder if he’ll make elite
    Of if it’s a mistake

    A gentle flap blows a warning gust
    Then looking to the sky he leaps
    And gives a flap that calms the cliff
    Because he did not fall and cost the ocean sleeps

    The sun grows close then he dives
    As he does the water thrives exited for the bird firm grip
    And as he reaches water, he digs his talons deep
    Then slow but steady he pulls it, without slip

    All the cliffs creatures so exited reach and grope
    Trying to touch his marvelous coat
    Because he’ll save them and give hope
    For they don’t want to join the flood
