Silver Moonlight

The autumn silver moonlight is bright
Wild winds whisper secrets to ponder
Inviting raptors to hunt for prey at night 

Mirrored reflections upon the river in white
As nocturnal scavengers come out to wander
The autumn silver moonlight is bright

Cries and screeches echo from their plight
High up in a barren tree nests a young condor
Inviting raptors to hunt for prey at night

Seeing moving shadows can be a fright
Creatures out to hunt and conquer 
The autumn sliver moonlight is bright

Owls soar along the riverbank in flight
Curiosity evokes a vulnerable responder
Inviting raptors to hunt for prey at night

Dawn now quiets as some lost their fight
The cries and sounds fade in yonder
The autumn silver moonlight is bright
Inviting raptors to hunt for prey at night
