Cozy Contemplations - 34. Chapter 34 Predator
***
Predator
Unexpected in my realm
You were neither seen nor heard
Until you dropped me to my knees
With your fierce visage
Swooping so close to mine
Did you mean to threaten me
While I stood in dawn’s light?
Or were you considering
The theft of my dog
As she led you to me
She too is a silent streak
As she speeds through the snow
And I shudder to think
Her joy for life could have ended
On your hooked talons
Your black beak
Like the head of an arrow
Stood out against peppered white
And I swear your eyes shone orange
Like embers in a blizzard
Nervous laughter bubbled up
As you kept on flying
With the wingspan of an Angel
Giving me goosebumps, and awe
For the perfection of your design
Perchance I will see you again
But, if not, count me in your thrall
For I have been blessed
With the formidable display
Of a consummate predator
