On Bended Lean

Birch trees standing
On bended lean
As if gently bowing
At her majestic queen
Water frozen
Trapped in time
Wavering fields
Unstable to climb
Dried leaves dance
On top of the snow
Soon to be part
Of what new will grow
The light bounces
Of the ground
Upon glistening snowfall
Untouched and unfound
The eagle soars
On circular course
He snatches his prey
Without remorse
The wind is serene
Yet murmurs the call
Of the high perched raven’s
Piercing squall
As I watch them
They study me
It’s an mysterious trust
To some degree
I sit quietly
And listen with my soul
And completely let my spirit
Take control
I fly with them
Above the mist
Forever bonded
As we co-exist
