Flight

Flight Far above mountain tops I soar and circle Embracing the air flow that Encase around me like a cool blanket Savoring the spectacular scenery before me Snow patches linger Journey through the forest treetops Rivers and creeks that bend through the earth glimmer Patches of flowers releasing their scent Butterflies and bees dancing on the open petals with pleasure Seeking the nectar and scattering pollen Snakes lying under the cool rocks hiding from the sunlight Creatures scurry through the tall grass with euphoria at Treasures they gather I swoop down and snatch my prey To feed my eaglets 3/9/2015

Thank you, Posey. No I have never read the book, I am more into dragons, fairies, knights, and Jack Reacher and so on. I spent a lot of time with my husband out in the woods in Or. just breath taking if you enjoy the smell of the fresh outdoors.
