Which episode of Crossing Jordan had an eulogy poem about an eagle?

Answer 1

A Parable of Immortality, by Henry Van D y k e

As I stand on a mountaintop,

The great bird approaches.

She is small in my sight

But grows larger as she nears

Until I am blessed with the full sight

Of her graceful wings,

Proud countenance, strength, and good company.

All too quickly she grows small again

On the horizon

And disappears from view.

And I call out,

“There! She is gone.”

But gone from where?

Gone from my sight is all.

She is just as large in spirit and might

As when she left my side.

Her diminished size is in me -

Not her.

But there are other mountains beyond me,

And at the precise moment when I note the great bird's

Departure from my view,

I know there are new eyes taking up the sight of her

And fresh voices calling out

"Here she comes!"

Answer 2

It was "Fire In The Sky" Dr. Garret Macy read it. It goes as follows, "As I stand on a mountaintop as the great bird approaches, she is small in my sight but grows larger on approach, until I am blessed with a full sight of her graceful wings, proud countenance and good company. All too quickly, she grows small again on the horizon and disappears from view. And I call out: There, she's gone! But there are other mountaintops beyond me. And at the precise moment when I note the great bird's departure from my view, I know there are new eyes taking up the sight of her and fresh voices calling out: Here, she comes!"
