Flying high

looking over a water view

freedom in the air

always something new

 

A fish jumps

diving to pick it up

quickly snatching it

a perfect setup

 

The wind flowing

comfort for my wings

soaring with the breezes

the scent of sweet things

 

A few friends join me

a fun aerial battle

twists and turns

till our brains are addled

 

Returning to the trees

time to cool down

listening to the chirping

of the insects around

 

Awakening now

time for the sun to set

brilliant colors

the most beautiful yet

 

One final flight

as the moon is rising

watching a glimmer in the water

the view is mesmerizing

 

Time to call it a day

now in the nest

all is well

comfortable and at rest
