A Circle of Life
A nest full of helpless chicks
await
A mother osprey in search of
food
Her eyes trained on a school of
bait
To take back to her hungry
brood
In an instinctive quest for
survival
She is meticulously dissecting
the ocean
At the nest they await her
arrival
In a blind raucous helpless
commotion
A large school of plump bunker
surface
To avoid bigger fish swimming
deep
Unaware of the danger above
them
Mother osprey has promises to
keep.
