Poem for Sunday: King of the Sea

by Roame Leaver




The claws hook with a steady eye
Overhead, twenty shimmering fins
As the saltwater parts.
No man can capture as quick as this.

The eagle seeks for perfection.
Dancing on the surface with his wings,
Magnificent like a King
Of the Sea.

Still, that is not enough.
Fearless, he swoops again,
Between two worlds he tears apart,
Gliding overhead until the time is
Right.
