Soaring and circling above towering trees Seen in my vision a trickling stream With water pure and crystalline clear My sharp eyes gaze around And in my view is a man Smiling and chuckling removing his boots With a fishing rod laid on the ground And a salmon wiggling on baited hook The battle now has begun I shall let him think he has won Swiftly, I pierce through the air Instantly, exhaling my piercing scream As my shadow glides all over him And with talons down I grip the air he breathes The fish escapes from him But not from me... ~coco~* ![]() Inspired by: Shadow of the eagle by Robert W.

I've just got back in from my fishing trip. If I'd read this one before I left I would have been looking over my shoulder all day! ![]() "Let me pierce the realm of glamour |
