The Watcher

Perched upon a pillar high
Majestic specimen caught within my eye
Creature of the kingdom sky
Just outside of my front door
Who's beauty I adore

He peers at me through fiery glare
Creature divine so valiant and rare
I'm captured within a dark eye stare
Of this watcher at my door
Protector outside my front door

With talons sharp as razor knife
Bold and keen instinctive eye
Wings of strength to defend in flight
His quest I now implore
As I watch from my front door

With passive countenance he turns away
Leaps into flight with sudden haste
With deafening screech he then invades
Upon the earth's vast floor
The enemy is no more

In awe I spy this saintly bird
Chilling silence is all that's heard
Resuming post upon high perch
Guarding his domain once more
The Watcher outside my front door
