Eagles of Phudung

One fine day, I saw a God of wings sway.

Oh! What a sight to behold

A convocation so bold.

Off they danced in the limitless sky

And I wished I could fly.

For they were blessed to travel with the wind,

Under the watchful spirit of the mountains.

For they were holy to make a home in the trees,

Under the fiery cosmic of universe.

Inking that flight in my memories;

Not all that I can do,

I will continue to endeavor.

Because my children have yet to see,

The Winged God.
