Sparrow Hawk
Enters the clearing of my eye line
Grey backed and white flashing burned orange
He soars high on well rounded wings.
Carrying the wind and a dream beneath a dark tail
He spots me, frozen by his presence, at the aviary door.
Makes for a copse of trees under the shade dappled hill
And lands in the low branches of a silver birch.
From there he sits watching me, watching him,
And in my wire mesh compound I can see him, aloof
And alone in silent contemplation, a small smudge fully loaded
Casting a bird shadow over the land.
I feed the aviary birds, aware of his power, distant yet troubling.
Then through the silence I hear the whoosh of wings,
And the pocket size power erupts through the mid day sky,
Flashing like flames at the furnace door, He weaves through clouds,
Then straightens himself like a fine tapered arrow
And heads for the wire mesh of the aviary door. Changes his mind
And swoops away to the far horizon.
Stunned by his beauty, his power, his vision,
I sit on the garden wall, humbled by his freedom.

| Humbled by his freedom, so much in that one line,writing that enables us to see what you see with such clarity and feel the wonder and awe with which you hold Nature in such high esteem, a pleasure as always Dennis |

I had to really think about it, like to really imagine the picture.
And it made me laugh out loud.
I wish i had been that lucky to see it.
Terrific Job! :) |
