Enigmatic Perspective

Amongst the treetops a falcon finds its prey
Swooping down talons open to grasps it
Only to let it drop so it’s bones will shatter
Questions have arisen in the coming days
Am I in the talons or am I the falcon hunting
A gunshot is heard with a burst of feathers
I am the bullet ceasing the existence of fables
My words are the rifle in which they will fall

Deeper than I could go in one reading I think... many layers of questions and truths. Questions about morality, the human condition, right and wrong, our choices. And written with your usual flare...unafraid. So impressive Beatrix! Applause! Xo
