The Golden Eagle
Pui Kiu College, Natalie Ngan, Poetry: Group 3
Once upon a time,
On the waterless Gobi
The golden sand shimmered
And the sun was scorching
The couple travelled on camels
Enjoying the magnificent view
The boy hummed as the sun drowned in the horizon
“My darling girl
I love you up in the sky
and down to the earth
I’ll be your golden eagle
to guide you in the storm”
They travelled through the desert
And climbed over mountains
She pointed at the north and said
“See! There’s a fountain!”
“My darling girl
That’s just a mountain!
Let me be your golden eagle
To show you where the fountain is”
All of a sudden
A sandstorm happened
It attacked like a tornado
Struck like a tsunami
The beast was awakened
The ground was shaken
She was frightened
But he wasn’t there
He’s gone forever
To a place known heaven
She cried for years
Until she had no more tears
