Capture the moment,
Crystal clear...
The breeze through the trees,
A fire that quickens and spreads,
Eyes watching close as
A mouse scurrying over dead leaves...
Swoop down, deadly -
The ultimate hunter perfected
Once again carries away
Its weak, feeble prey.

I like the suddenness of death. One minute the mouse is scurrying over leaves, the next he is bird food. Isnt that the truth?!?

Nice captured moment from the birds watching eyes. I know how it goes with rhyme. From time to time it escape from my pen too.
