Bird in Flight

Feathered wonder grace in sky,
Specs of light dust mountainside.
Ink line coated in a blanket of snow,
Soaring high above all below.

Treetops dotted far and few,
Rocky terrain immersed to view.
Beautiful spectacle frozen lake,
Gliding poetically, passing through.

Flying high it soundly sings,
Wind beneath its widespread wings.
Piercing eyes as daylight descends,
Predatory instinct swiftly begins.

Seeking prey, it swoops to kill,
Life around remains still.
Silence befalls, quick to pass,
With talons it takes, soon to fill.
