A Yorkshire Poet Poet Prose Poetry

A Friendship of Beauty

I heard you
I listened

Your call so undeniable
Your presence so magnificent 

I stood still 
Under the tree

The rain fell
The wind bristled

Hours past
Silent anticipation 

You appeared 
Wing beats sounded your presence

Settling on the dead free
I watched your behaviour so intently

You looked round
You saw me

You concentrated your eyes on me

You stayed still
I looked back

You had no fear
You knew I wouldn’t attack

You rested under the glowing sun
We watched it setting together 
I knew that a kind of mutual friendship had begun

Over days, weeks, months and years
You’ve sat on your tree
I’ve stood over here

You brought your offspring to show me

You’ll always be my friend, my wonder, my connection with nature’s beauty - you’ll always be my peregrine and live forever in my memory.
