I See an Eagle

by Treischel

I See an Eagle Fly
(A Paradelle Poem)





See the Eagle soar!
See the Eagle soar!
It owns the sky!
It owns the sky!
When I see the Eagle soar,
To own the sky is key.

My spirit flies!
My spirit flies!
Set it free!
Set it Free!
Because, when my spirit flies,
I set it free for Thee.

If I could fly,
If I could fly,
I'd climb to the heights.
I'd climb to the heights.
If I could fly to the heights,
The wonders I would see.

Then, when I see an Eagle fly,
I think, to own the sky is key.
I know, if I could fly to the heights,
I'd marvel at the wonders I would see.
That's because, when my spirit flies,
I set it free for Thee.

Flights of fancy. Don't you ever wish you could fly like an Eagle?

This poem is a Paradelle.
I was introduced to this format this morning by Fanstorian Sunnilicious, in her poem, The Jewel Box.
Paradelle is a French from of poetry. It is considered difficult to write. It is comprised of 4 stanzas. The format is as follows:
Stanza 1, 2 and 3 - line 1 & 2 identical, line 3 & 4 identical, lines 5 & 6 are a saying made up of all the words in lines 1 & 3.
Stanza 4 - Use all the words in lines 1 & 3 from stanza 1,2,3 to make a full saying to sum up the poem in 6 lines.

This photograph was taken by the author at Fort Snelling State Park along the Mississippi River bottoms.
