Flying high like the sun,
Soaring in the blue vastness of
the
mountain sky
Descending, diving like a rock dropped out of the heavens,
Screeching as it races fast as light, down at unsuspecting prey,
Plunging into icy water with all of Earth's harshness
Reappearing from the water's darkness,
Climbing up, up into the sky,
Shedding water off its wings, now glistening like diamonds,
as it
speeds, higher, higher into the crystal heavens
Stopping its speeding climb,
It peaks, levels and circles once again
The world down below seems to applaud its amazing feat,
the wind
whistles with amazement
The water sore from its ripping talons, which slashed the clear water's
surface
causing ripples in agony,
making only minimal noise compared
to the damage it suffered
The Eagle,
Nature's Predator.
