It Is Now I Know #1
Exploring my talent, putting it into use in the literary world for the benefit of humanity and promotion of communication
Like eagle whose eyes
Become sharper as it goes
Higher very far above the
Ground surface
Every year it renews its
Wings, and when doing that
It will have to go into the
Topmost mountain
Where it will hide itself
In the clefts of the rocks
Where it will remove it
Feathers and would wait there
Waiting there for days,
Yea weeks and months
Until its feathers grow back
Then it will leave the place
New vigor it has gotten
New power it has obtained
At the place of rest and
Solitude where it has been
It loves its eggs and such
Would not lay its eggs just
Anywhere, it lays its eggs at
A very secretive place away and away
Yea, away from the spectacles
Of men and other dangerous animals
Away from where other animals
Could easily access
Like other birds would incubate
The eggs for days until it is hatched
After hatching the eggs it would
Stay with it protecting it
Under its wings will it be
Protecting the new birds teaching
Them many things about life
Indeed teaching them about living
It will make them know that
Life is not full of bed of roses
Teaching them that life is full
Of ups and downs
Letting them know that
Dangerous animals are in the world
Those dangerous beings are out to
Harm them and they should be ready
Be ready to defend themselves
Because if they do not defend
Themselves no one would defend them
They would feast on them
It will teach them how to
Defend themselves, teach them how
To fend for themselves all
This the mother, would be teaching
The eaglets as it carries them
On her wings higher into the
Firmament and then would release
Them watching them
It will be looking at them
Looking at how they glide and
How they fly in the firmament
Coming to their aid when necessary
As they keep growing and learning
It will be pointing them to what
They should be observant of in the
Air, what they should notice on land
Soon the younger ones of
Yesterday become masters of today
And they would be ready to also
Instruct others eaglets that would emerge
It does not eat just anything,
Its foods are special ones,
Which it sees when high in the
Air and rapidly descends to take
With its claws that are sharp
And pointed which would be used
In grasping the prey and far
Into the firmament it leaves again
Taken the prey to where it
Would be feasted upon with
Others. With its claws it defends
Itself against any form of enemies
Any enemy that misbehaves it
Will silence and would feast on
Its body. It protects its own
And would not let it see destruction
Like this he is to me,
As he is growing older his
Imaginations and reasonings get sharper
And brighter
