EAGLE MOON

Eagle Moon

the sky was lit
the lights were dim
the air was thick with blood
dreary it was where the
moonlight hit
and red began to flood

a darker day
has passed away
and though it was an unkind fate
you will enter every gate

alas the light
reveals a bird
propels in flight
atleast ive heard
into the night

then at mercy
the winged beast
endures a feast
so cold

at a glance
the predator
so very real
and then my dream
becomes a fiction
contradicting what i feel

the eagle
a bird of prey
so evil
and those would say
so very old

then this sight
has turned to fright
as i run so very far
i wake up
my terrors end
and gaze upon the stars

so it ends so very soon
the night of the eagle moon
