an ubin eagle

it was a stormy afternoon one day
[that] i saw a bellied eagle -
black shape upon a sky so grey
t'was the soaring regal

"where go'est thou, dear feathered friend?"
i asked the misty wind
"what do'st thou in day so dark
that stirs your feathered kin'[d]?"

[as spray dash'd acros't the rocking boat,
he set on hanging branch
and swung great wings to keep afloat
'gainst the mighty *wind

yet amidst the sweeping, whisp'ring gale
the eagle watched in silence
as clouds rained noise and watered hail
said he nothing 'til mine absence

and hence he took to outstretched wing
and flew away on waves that sing]

/i saw a couple sea eagles on the bumboat to ubin for the dreaded and now over npcc atc. black things soaring in the distance. poor things, cos the weather was really very unpleasant...this actually wasn't the original poem that came to me, i think it was lost in the three days of boredom and sleep-deprivation... not really very happy with it... esp. the latter 3 stanzas or are they verses (?) whatever they are anyway.. would someone like to help me compose another ending? or continue the poem from after the second verse?
