Cedars Are Strong and Proud
The home of osprey and other birds of prey - GiaB writing prompt #23 trees
The cedars line the pond, strong and proud and see their reflection on the still glass below the home of osprey and other birds of prey as they circle high above.
In a flash the fish hawk sails straight to the water’s face grasping in its talons the unwitting victim of the day.
He soars back to his perch above to swing mightily in the evening air with never a care for those that lie under his constant stare.
The tallest and the fairest prevail with roots deep in the swampy grass the cedars will stand here when all else has passed their reflection still fast in the waters below.
