The Kestrel Selene

Hovering silently above the sunkissed field
                                she stalks her prey, tail adjusting movement
                                 then swoops effortlessly towards the unconcealed
                                  
                                
                                      Field mouse has no idea, life`s about to sieze
                                        with eyes transfixed, claws outgasped
                                          she swoops down,not a breeze

                                              Her prey is caught,off back to her nest
                                                four newly born chicks await
                                                  because food,nutrition is what she does best
