Silver Eagle

 Silver Eagle 

Part 2 


The Silver Eagle, soared bold and free,

Above the clouds, in dreams of fantasy 


The boy once dreamed, longing to fly 

Hover with the wind, embrace the sky 


In words penned young, ‘ere the sudden fall

Imagining future, the air force call


High amidst the heavens, a burning throne

Destiney awaited to claim my own.


The winds of fate, they shifted, unforeseen,

A heart's abrupt arrest, at death scene 


No thundering Eagle’s scream 

Nightmare clad as a beautiful dream 


Of silence, where a heart lost his beat 

Reviving it was not an easy feat 


Grounded, yet soaring in a different light,

The Eagle's wings clipped, a divergent flight.


Fate intervened, it dealt an unexpected hand 

A destiny altered, to chaos shifting sands 


Dreams were crushed and my soul shattered

With the gust of the scorching wind scattered


The flaming orb shines no more

A deathly throne, that I abhor 


I flew to the Sun and burnt my wing

I’m no longer a pilot, no longer King 


No more let life divide, but intertwine,

What Death and life together shall define.


The Eagle's cry within, though altered course,

Still echoes dreams, resounding with its force.
