Red hawks dive and swoop and soar <br />High above me-Could I ask for more? <br />I envy their majestic wings <br />Their view encompassing everything! <br /> <br />The sky is their domain no doubt <br />With sunlit clouds and wind about <br />Circling for prey with greedy eyes <br />Danger and beauty combined in the skies <br /> <br />Marvelous curiosity fills my mind with awe <br />Such willful defiance of gravity I never saw! <br />Godly miracle, the slotted wing <br />Unstable air to it, a minor thing <br /> <br />I declare these birds the Kings of Flight <br />Intelligent and regal in my sight <br />Watch them yourself and you'll believe <br />Seeing you there, your heart will sing <br /> <br /> <br />Written by Sara Fielder © 1997<br /><br />Sara Fielder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/red-hawks/
