Gliding gracefully

Gliding gracefully
Belies might of a lethal
killing machine that
swoops silently from above
Prey without a fighting chance

Prying eyes hidden
from view ostensibly to
offer assistance
Eagle-like beware those known
to wreak havoc on others

    Never see it coming. I used to live near a raptor reehabilitation area. Was really cool to see these uys up close and see just how deadly.
