You are
rising,
soaring,
almost touching the sun, when
your sharp eyesight catches
a rabbit in a field.
Your eyes, feathers, beak, and talons gleam
with deadly beauty,
as you ready your beak
for the final kill.
Taking advantage of the moment,
you streak down from the clouds
like lightening.
Your feathers gleam,
Gold mirrors of light,
stunning all who flee.
Sharp claws
latch on to your next meal,
and carries it off.
That rabbit didn’t stand a chance.

I only saw a flash of light, and then the shadow of it on the ground. This was a falcon. I didn't see a rabbit in its clutches, but I knew that it was capable of doing that.
