Something flickered
I caught a glimpse
of swooping grace and wings
a world of wonder
with yellow eyes
staring right at me
The hawk became my teacher
These are my lessons learned
Be a keen observer
Pay attention to each breeze
Soar with courage
Move with ease
Listen loud to every silence,
Measure every sound
Be fierce
Be graceful
Ever grateful
Ever present
Every moment
Ever mindful
Ever sure and ever steady
Ever ready
To live these lessons from a hawk
