a bird reigned the sky that night

an eagle, to be specific.

and i, as a helpless human being,

i stood there on the ground

craning my neck to watch that bird.

it glided through the night,

over the hills

over the valleys

over the forests.

that night, it became king.

not king of the world,

but king of the land.

for it was not a creature of water

but of land.

and so it reigned,

and everything below gazed up

at this magnificent sight

at the eagle soaring through the night.
