The Hawk Watches
The Hawk watches.
I fight my battle alone.
He knows I'm the Cat
who will not return home.
He says,"Step follows step."
When I fall behind.
He says,"Hope follows courage."
When none can I find.
"Set your face toward danger."
And we see eye to eye.
"Set your heart on victory."
And I know I must try.
The Hawk still watches.
I fight my battle alone.
He knows I'm the Cat
who will not return home.
Some of your works (maybe most?) are deliciously similar to mine...I love bird, cat, and 'secondary story' motifs/allegories. The inspiration you describe is somehow limiting, the poem is rich enough for anyone to interpret as they will, though enlightening to your methodology.
