THE NEST IS DESOLATE and TOMORROW ISN'T NEAR

THE NEST IS DESOLATE, AND TOMORROW ISN'T NEAR

Daily bread isn't enough for  breakfast 
The living quests to save tomorrow 
So the Eagle left its nest in search of big catch 
Flying above the pinnacle of the highest trees  
Beyond the shadows of the distant valleys 
Set to get to the hunting ground 
Still gliding on the weightless air
Hovering on the glittering spread of the restless  seas ?? 
The search isn't over till the land beyond the  waters

Pretty  stunning Eagle on the search
I know the trip is short 
Only scared how long the hunting would last 
I know you can stand the scorching sun
And wade through the fluffy whitish snow 
But I'm scared if you'd remember your nest 
The one left idle on the branch of the  olive tree 
Hope you won't taste of the foreign cider
The intoxicating liquor that makes home too far to return
Don't forget the Fall is near
The trees would soon be Stripped naked 
I hope the Spring would be here in a bit

Scared if this stunning Eagle would be back
If she won't get stung by with venom of the western wasps 
Would she remember she promised tomorrow 
Now that countless  nights have come and gone
And another sunrise is headed west
With no trace of  homecoming 
Seems tomorrow is drifting back
And the nest is getting desolate 
Tell the air to blow a gentle whisper 
A loud whistle  of reminder 
It is time for homecoming 
The air is dry and eyes filled with tears  
The tomorrow she promised isn't near as said
