Totem

Proud and lovely eagle, soaring through the sky in her majesty and grace.
Now caged, half starved, longing for what will not be given.

She grows lackluster, losing color and her radiant power;
Will she still be desired by her jailer when she is too weak to break her chains?

Will she have the courage to break the bars that bind her and soar once more?
She knows deep in her heart that without the sustenance she requires she will lose herself.

This mighty and free spirit is broken and hungry.
She needs healing and sustenance.
