We spent a quiet day,
Punctuated by bursts of rainfall,
Reading and occasionally watching
A pair of geese who appeared to be nesting
In the field below the house,
When suddenly they flew off,
And just as you started to call attention
To their departure, an eagle flew in
And perched in the tree above the spot
Where the geese had been foraging.
Of course, we thought.
No one feels safe
When a predator is near.
