Today // I sat and watched a hawk
come sailing through the trees
Pushed by the wind he picked up speed
Wings folded back flying like a bullet
Lifting to ride on the March winds
Dipping diving // circling lifting
calling raspy notes to his mate
Today // first day of spring…
My mind soared in freedom
with every sweeping pass

I love the textured sky backdrop for the hawk’s spring aeronautics. I can see why your spirit soared with the hawks.

I could see myself as that hawk as I was reading your poem. Exhilarating!

They are amazing birds. This is the first I have seen one flying so fast that it had its wings tight against its body for a few moments.
