Canyon Reverie Constanza

I stop to watch the eagle soar. At dawn his silhouette flies high Through brilliant tinted scarlet sky. Below the gorge at valley’s floor, The creatures rise up one by one; A quest for food has just begun. I listen to the fierce winds roar. Descending from the north they blow And carry in the first light snow. They make the river crest the shore When swirls of vivid hues abound Dancing before they touch the ground As autumn breezes in once more. I marvel at the leaves in flight And wonder where they will alight. I stop to watch the eagle soar. Below the gorge at valley’s floor, I listen to the fierce winds roar. They make the river crest the shore As autumn breezes in once more. 7-29-20 ~Poem of the Day July 31, 2020~ Constanza Poetry Contest Sponsored by Joseph May Thank you very much Team Poetry Soup and members for this honor.

"I stop to watch the eagle soar, at dawn his silhouette flies high" There is something comforting about this thought. Even though your heart is low at this moment, the wind lifts you somehow. In coming days, months and years. These words will hold you, they will continue to lift you. Congratulations Connie, on Poem of the Day. Hugs, Brandy
