Ground Level Eagle

by Eve Parker

You used to fly,

You had clouds and wind

for your boundaries.

You saw details from heights

I can only imagine

and looked down at

many like me,

victims of earth and gravity.

Till one day an envious

shot stole your glory,

made you a victim too.

Now you have a new

world, marked by the width

of your perch and the

length of your chain.

You still carry yourself

regally, never forgetting

you once ruled the sky.

But your majesty is only more sad, because

You used to fly
