WHERE YOUNG EAGLES WAIT

Posted on April 28, 2018 by | 3 Comments

 

 

There is no escape for weeks
looking down on a small world
beneath a thatch of twigs—

no way to hide from sun, storm
or crow until the leaves come
to wait for shadows out of the blue

heavens with or for a meal—
no guarantees that what they see
is good or bad, just real.

 

 

Robbin and I had the luxury of looking at cows and calves in our upper country yesterday when she spotted this Golden Eagles’ nest.

    Great photo, John! Love the verse as well. Our baldies are thriving on Dry Creek!
