Eagle’s Eye
The drive
Anything but methodical
Luscious mountains
Salt-n-peppered
With pine and
Recent snow
Stealing breath
I drive on
The road beneath
Serving as an
Entry point
Into the serene
Cracking my window
Feeling the air
Transform my breathing
Lighten my load
Bringing spontaneous
Ahh
Spirit quickening
I scoot down
The hill
Towards Nederland
A home in
The mountains
A mere 45 minutes
From my dwelling
A place to
Experience the
Tastiest of treats
And succulent coffee
Experiencing a
Spirit
Bold and poignant
Inviting in
It’s uniqueness
Locals
Being themselves
Dreads flowing
Piercings showing
A young man
With a deformed hand
Heading out
To ski
Proud and unstoppable
In his approach
To life
A radiant
You woman
Colored pencils
Sprayed out
Over the
Wooden table
In front
Of her
A family
Visiting from England
Soaking up the
Colorado comforts
Another young woman
Writing
Checking me out
Seemingly wondering
What my story
Could be
The rhythm
Groovy and Sensuous
Alluring to
My playful
Monkey soul
The depth
Peacefulness
Of the awakened
People
Causing my
Moon spirit
To soar
Floating above
With an eagle eye
Perceiving life
With the
Universe’s love

PS. The first eagle is downtown Westminster, the second ones were taken at Lake Arbor in 2018.
