long walk on a lazy saturday morning
companionable silence, flecked with the
occasional comment, observation
mostly silence, each of us in our own space
always, as always, filled up with each other

as we walk an eagle magically soars
above our heads, we take it in,
as we absorb the view, the ocean
the peace we feel inside

as we sit and linger at the end of the walk
on a large red rock
i ask you to put out into the universe
my desire
for a single eagle feather
because you understand my desires
and because you are magical yourself
you do

we reluctantly leave the rock and it’s view
and on those last steps to home
there it is, like a gift from the eagle herself
a feather so beautiful it takes our breath away
