Elegance In Flight
Shadow wings across the ground
glide along without a sound.
Beware young mouse in grassy field
your fate it seems has been sealed.
A predator has come on quest
and little ones await in a nest,
for sustenance to get them through
a tasty meal mom must accrue.
Nature’s given her nocturnal sight
to search the woodlands while in flight.
What she sees, will she share?
From above, secrets she’ll ensnare.
Minerva’s child knows nature’s ways
and with her they will always stay.
A winged specter of the skies
with talons of enormous size.
I heard her speak in alto voice
and I looked up, I had no choice.
A beauty in the orange moon’s light
I’ll not forget those radiant eyes.
