Chapter 5
The little caterpillar climbed a maple tree to find a scrumptious green leaf to eat. It was long and hard work to climb up the rough bark. Finally she settled down on a leaf that hung from a low branch. After a brief, rest against the smooth leaf, she began to eat.
Across the sun flew a large bird shape. Then down it came, landing on a branch right above Katie. She crouched on her leaf, hoping her green body blended into the green of the leaf.
“Don’t be concerned. You’re too small for me to eat,” Bright-Eye the Bald Eagle said. “I prefer rabbits or small birds to eat—or fish.”
Katie let out a sigh.
The eagle continued speaking from his perch above her, “I have heard from the tall pine tree that you are wondering about your particular song. As you know, that will only come from your own heart. And if you would like, I will sing my song for inspiration.”
“I would love to hear your high-flying song.”
“That’s fine. Remember, soon you will be experiencing your own fly-free nature, after a time of rest.”
Katie wondered what Bright-Eye meant….
Bright-Eye Eagle’s Song
As I soar high above the trees,
Calm, strong, clear-sighted,
I see far, know where to be–
Hunting, know what’s required.
Or on top of the air I rest
With nary a wing -beat to float me.
Bring a rabbit back to craggy nest–
So Mom and eaglets can feed.
Way beyond the mountain tops I go,
Imagine my perspective…
Brighten your dreams with
Rainbows
When you free
Your Self to Live.
“I would love to take a ride on your back, Bright-Eye, and look Down on the tree tops, except, I don’t think that I could see that far.”
The eagle chuckled. “We each have our special gifts. I believe that you will be discovering yours Very Soon.”
“Oh, thank you for your confidence. And thank you again for your song. I’m going to curl up next to this twig for a nap now.”
“Have a good rest. See you later.” The eagle flew off to the mountain where his family and nest awaited him.
