Peregrine falcon
.
A work of art,
Yet so… lethal,
For no hand shaped it,
But the hands of time,
The fingers of evolution,
Molding the clay of life,
.
A hooked beak to rip and tear.
Eyes, deep black eyes to spot prey from great distance,
Scales to protect the talons
Incredible hearing,
Sturdy leg bones to take an incredible impact
Built for the hunt.
.
Streamlined body,
Beak built to protect the lungs at high speed,
Elegant blue gray and tawny feathers evolved to reduce drag,
Long tail to turn,
Powerful flight muscles to churn the air,
With reflexes that put to shame the best fighter pilots.
Built for speed.
.
Built for the kill.
A predator like none other.
Yes… no greater potter then the hands of time.
What a terrifying work of art.
