A Predator Hangs In The Heavens Poem by Kevin Patrick II
A Predator Hangs In The Heavens
A predator hangs in the heavens
circling the world with sharp wings
It talons, steeled for entrapment
Thirst hungrily for the meek that spring
relentless, it glides through the sky
a speck in the kingdom of blue
guarding its treasured horizons
by keeping its prey in full view
Nothing hunts this feathered seraph
Perched safe in clouds paradise
no shackles of an omniscient eye
leave the earth to the sacrifice
And I watch and cry to an unforgiven sky
As a predator hangs in the heavens
What a powerful, dark piece of writing that carries a heavy sense of helplessness and existential dread. The most striking scene is how it merges the monstrous with the divine.

A great imaginative write with superb imagery The repetition of the title in the final line acts like a closing trap.- you can do nothing but watch the cycle continue. Brilliantly crafted !
