Broken Eagle

Missing image



Broken Eagle lay still
wing torn savagely
as locusts consume, 
streaming from sea to sea.

No more little rodents
secretly eroding the tents
of the righteous
~ now ~
Giant Insects devour,
harvest rots and decays.

~ But ~
in the heat of the day
and the cool of the night
paternal Pack Leader
circles the camp
and waits.

He waits for the moment
to spring

~ letting forth ~
a mighty howl of victory
heard by all
feared by invading swarms
welcomed by the weak.

Mighty Eagle arises
flexing healed wing.
He soars over the amber waves
bringing life to our land once again,
as the wolf pack sobs
tears of relief
and restoration.

 

 

Author notes

The LORD their God is with them;
the shout of the King is among them.

    Stunningly Beautiful

    Another GOLD, sweet Sis. This is stunningly laid out, the phrasing almost magical, and the story enlightens us as to the joy we will feel when Christ arrives. It seems I'm always running out of positive adjectives to pen to your awesome poems!

    I know I commented on this one back when. Still, a winner, no less. SisBon

    Nature

    Nature of the pack symbilizes strength with flight of the eagle. Freedom. I enjoyed this. I believe it would make a great poem for the US. Beautiful writing here.

    Power

    Reminds though we may be defeated we will rise up, and to me the icon of the Eagle represents God's Power, Let the Glory of the Lord Rise Among us...amen!

    AWESOME !

    As usual, dear Sis, you have written another masterpiece. You never fail to impress me with your beautiful talent and, as usual, there is the hidden message: this one reminding me of Jesus, whole again as He arose from the dead, as one day He will do for us.

    The picture you chose is as beautiful as the words you've written: our Eagle soars and we the wolf pack await His arrival.

    Needless to say, this is a gold winner; so, I hope the contest host views this incredible poem in the same way!

    Much love and hugs, SisBon

    P.S. Finally! A TSaS lesson has gone out on our Lord's Holy Day. . . what a long year and a half. Satan loses!
