When Did Last I See

when did last I see
a Bald Eagle fly?
not for many years,
on a cold weekend morn-
camera in hand,
cold, dry sandwiches packed in the car-
standing near park benches and rocks
among other onlookers,
waiting to capture
glimpses of Eagles nearby.
but today, no camera was handy-
nor did I first know
that the black outline
flying far in cloudy skies-
was that Majestic Creature,
mostly unseen free,
matched by a sense of wonder
and vigor that exhaustion could not dampen.
if I had blinked,
if I had not looked out the window,
I never would have known
the Bald Eagle had flown.
