I await the first light of Dawn, preening and primping my feathers. And prepare to catch a thermal as I soar above the heathers. A red sun sears the horizon as darkness gives way to daylight. And when night shadows disappear, color is restored to my sight. Flexing my wings, I mount the wind, embracing the lift breezes bring. And equipped with lethal talons, I'm as regal as any king. Launching myself into the air, I cull out the injured and weak. And thus allow species to thrive, ensuring they stay at their peak.

LOVE this poem !! You have captured the majestic nature of the Eagle so well. I have witnessed these magnificent birds up close.. their speed, agility and instinct to catch the thermal up draughts. My poem.. "Aquila" brushes on the outlines of this regal bird. xx~xx
