Peregrine

A majesty of nature sits there in the dead tree

A majesty of flight turns to look at me

A majestic raptor braced and tuned for this cold

Majestic eyes scan the valley deep for prey yet untold

A majestic transformation to flight

Effortless drop, invertedly!

Precision, speed, raw might

Soaring low into the deep valley

This king of the skies now stoops vertically

This predator is in a class of its own

This falcon of majesty.
