Flighted wings spread wide,
Snapping on the downstroke,
Moving air, giving lift.
Scouring the land below,
Hunting hidden prey beneath,
Unaware it is being sought.
Heart pounding hard,
Rushing dive,
Crushing blow.
And so life cycles,
Eat or be eaten,
Live or die.

Flighted wings spread wide,
Snapping on the downstroke,
Moving air, giving lift.
Scouring the land below,
Hunting hidden prey beneath,
Unaware it is being sought.
Heart pounding hard,
Rushing dive,
Crushing blow.
And so life cycles,
Eat or be eaten,
Live or die.
