The Prize
Three good friends canoe down the Kinni
each with their own bag of thoughts
on their weekly escape
They glide along the waters course
under the veil of Whitman’s song
cruising past mini rapids
as they coast into calmer waters
they hear a faint whistle from above
before any of them see…
An Eagle great in essence and size
plunges into the river
a few feet ahead
grabbing a huge trout in his claws,
he hovers over the water…
The fisherman in the rear
only notices the fish,
the artist in the front
only sees the bird,
but in the center the dreamer
witnessed the marvel of both.
as the Eagle hovers
he flaps his powerful wings,
securing the trout ,
before flying away with his prize.
