"I'm Free"

As I was walking
on the tundra
I saw an Eagle
soaring high above me.

The smell of the Spring air
made me think
of the fun it would be
to soar as high
as he did
down
to the earth,
then
lift up again to the sky,
circling a cloud for awhile,
feeling the wind against my feathers
and thinking,
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
No one can stop me
I'll be free forever....
