The Hawke
Circleing lazily in the sky,
searching the earth with her eagle eye.
Sensing danger the rabbit lies prone,
towards the earth, the hawke drops like a stone.
Up, and running for all he is worth,
the rabbit heads for his hole in mother earth.
With one gigantic smack,talons tear into the rabbits back.
After gorging her self with all she can eat,
the hawke takes off in the suns heat.
for back to the nest she must fly,
to feed the young or else they will die.
A life has ended, as life begins,
for this is natures way of doing things.
Tango.
