Hawk Eyed

The nighthawk sails tonight;
Encompassing a silent world
Caught is, his prey in the wink of an eye

Spinning and diving in swirls
Across the midnight skies
While he holds court with the fancied hawk girls

The sea hawk takes to the sky
She dives for her daily catch
Of delicious bass in the seas nearby

Each bares a twinkle in their eyes
Prey for each, comes as no surprise
