I always thought that was absurd
Until today; I witnessed
Something like it - bird eat bird.
A hawk came out of nowhere;
Zipped behind us in a streak
And glancing skyward, we observed
A chase of beak to beak.
A little bird, with all its might,
Flew furiously fast.
In seconds, though, the hawk caught up,
His breakfast snagged at last.
He lit upon a branch, his meal
Secured but still alive
And struggling without a chance
To possibly survive.
It made me sad; my husband said,
“That’s just what’s meant to be.
It’s Nature, after all...”
But still, not what I like to see.
