View From My Kitchen Window
standing near the kitchen window taos mountain
shrouded in mist like pictures of china
a large bird flew into view he circled
then a figure eight still flying called you to see
must be a raven large & dark you agreed
must be a raven large & dark you agreed
then… no wait you grabbed your glass
determined a white head & tail
we followed him with our eyes an eagle
you said we watched until we could see him
no more like a spirit a blessing
one special moment & he was gone
we followed him with our eyes an eagle
you said we watched until we could see him
no more like a spirit a blessing
one special moment & he was gone

I resonate with that moment. I'm glad you had someone to share it with. It feels like a gift, doesn't it?

Ah, but indeed what a blessing to have seen him at all. We must savor the moments when they arrive in our lives.
a wonderful moment captivated forever in words...
What a glorious shared moment!
I think that would be a moment that would stay with you... perfect.
Ah, such a beautiful moment, captured forever in a poem. I love this! I see many more eagles now, by the sea..........always such a joy.
That was great once I cut the spaces. I mean, reading it without unnecessary interruptions flows very well.

You can kick my butt later :)
Such a beautiful moment captured here.. sigh..
A blessed and special moment captured in this lovely poem.
That is a moment to share and cherish.
You took an encounter of three and made a work of living art of it. That view from the window with bird and witness brought an eagle to me too.
