Osprey

Port wing folds Steep spiral toward the fiery water below Fish dart in all directions She springs upward faster than light Into the blinding sun She circles the brilliant scene One mind One muscle Tail and wings tucked She stops Necessity become pleasure This is evolution Her dark eyes pierce the water below Bending the scene to her will She flips and drops Propelled by will She pierces the water Then rises Water flying in every direction Rainbows of reflection  Off the shiny prey Into an unknown infinity She and her nutritious companion Disappear And we continue on our way
