Eagles

Eagle flying high, just a dot in the sky I fly in to join you and circle with you together we take delight in plummeting down then climbing back up to float on thermals The landscape below shows trees the size of matches individual flowers too small to see just splashes of many different hues blending into each other the steady wind ruffles my feathers as I tease you Playing and courting we bond once more and set about setting our eyrie to rights high up on the steep jagged cliff top any danger spotted miles away from this vantage point I take turns with you sitting on our eggs then off to hunt I soar searching for my prey there down there a fat young rabbit grazes I swoop down and now dinner daintily I eat Replete I retire to the tree tops and spread my wings basking in the sun life is good so very good soon the cycle restarts with my chicks written 01/23/2013
