Eagle's Flight

Contrasts: --- break ---

Eagle's Flight --- break ---

Nightmares take flight,
Deep into the night.

Soaring high above the mountains,
Riding the wind,
Catching an updraft,
Wheeling hard left,
Wings stretched taut,
Feathers of steel,
Leisurely beating,
The cold shrill wind.

Eyes of dark coal diamonds,
Glinting razor sharp in the pale moonlight,
Searching,
Stalking,
Hunting movement,
Hovering,
Waiting,
Anticipating movement.

A cold calculating killer,
Of unparalleled mind and skill.

The hunt is a foot,
A prey to be sought.
Frozen still.
No sound, pensive calm.
Dive Arrow,
Dive Eagle,

Death fast speed,
Talons outstretched,
Over in a heartbeat,
The hunt is done tonight.

Nightmares take flight,
Deeper into the night.
