Manifesting in the high noon sky
he swirls, and turning wheels
and dives, while
I in awestruck silence wait,
and breathless wish him nearer my eye
so I could note the size of his wide frame.
Perfection of wildness on the wing,
buzzard bird your freedom
sets my soul a-sing
in praise of courageous will
which dominates yet contains everything
woven like iron bands in feathered steel.
Mewing calls splitting the air resound
as gliding in view another there
impedes one bird's
upward ****** with solitaire
ballet of female pirouette, gyration slows
so gentle talons can touch fearsome breast.
Monumental the speed when wills clash,
sparks spread earthward as birds
circle in victory rush,
while I with bated breath catch
the best moment when nature takes over
as she screams then leads him back home.
