• Eyes open in the night
    As the creature takes up flight
    Up
    Down

    To the sky
    To the ground

    Battered wings are retless still
    Now wait, hold on, and approach the kill
    Frozen air with wind so strong
    The animal starts the path so long
    Stop! Quick, now to dive
    Before the prey gets away alive

    In the nocturnal time of evening
    I rest my head here for sleeping
    And listen for one who stays alone
    While singing low with harmonic tone
