I just need to be by the water today.
Some how I managed to park
Under the tree
With a huge eagle in it.
It reminds me
When I am not even aware of it
You are watching over me.
Got my first whiff of blackberries
When I got into the car,
Promises of juicy delight
Later in the summer.
He is gathering a crowd
The eagle.
No need to be dramatic.
He just is.
So regal
On his branch at the top of the tree.
Me?
Sometimes I need to be dramatic
Just making sure somebody
Is watching.
That is what I love about this town
You can drive down to the sea,
Park under a tree with an eagle at the top
Watch a ferry load up
And then a smelly, noisy train comes rumbling by.

I love moments like theses too. Thanks for capturing them, and sining them out!
That would be singing…
