I sit here enjoying nature
From high up on the tree
I gaze an encompassing all that is around me
The weather is cool
With a soft breeze flowing through the autumn leaves
Colors of greens turning to shades of red, yellows, purples, and browns
Gently falling like a light feather
To the floors beneath the canopy of trees
A light shower of cool rain
Settles on everything in sight
With sunshine reflecting of the water droplets
Each making a rainbow of it’s own
With colors of reds, yellows, blues, and violets
My attention is caught with the sounds of movement in the brush
With the rustling and stirring of the different colored leaves
Of shades of red, yellows, purples, and brown
On the floors beneath the canopy of trees
I fly very quietly in pursuit of my prey
Eventually spreading my wings and striking with my feet
To snatch my prey
I am sitting on my perch hooting
Swivel my head more than 180 degrees looking in all directions
Encompassing all that is around me
Waiting for the sounds of movement in the brush to start again
