Golden Eagle Rising

Fierce golden sun

strikes mighty wings

Rising draught of air

This eagle has won,

such joy of flight it brings

This intense blue,

matched by clouds of pure white

This golden eagle rises too

Far in to heavenly light

Light ruffle of feather

Rising high

Mighty eagle has no tether

Far in to the sky

Mighty wings,

many miles to glide

This eagles heart sings,

eyes scanning far and wide

Merest whisper of wind sound,

flowing over golden wings

Not heard on dusty ground,

far below

This golden hunter does know

Soaring high

Golden eagle

Golden light

Golden delight

Blue sky

This blue summer sky

Eagle has to fly

Soaring,it's first love

High in golden light above

This journey of flight,

in golden light,

coming full circle

Mighty wings,

upon which beating heart sings

Mighty eagles' delight
