Birds of Prey

A poem about the powerful architypal energy of birds of prey

Birds of Prey - A Poem by Sue Cartwright, Spiral Leaf


Golden Eagle, magnificent lone sentry of the sky;

Sea Eagle of Zeus in Jupiter, victorious, divine;

A single White Tailed Eagle on a rock, a symbol, a sign;

A warning from the Gaelic Eagle with the sunlit eye.


Stealthy wings, swift, elegant, distinct, compelling;

Broad strokes, dynamic speeds, driving momentum;

Rising high to glide on air, climbing in a continuum;

Razor-like eyes, swooping down, talons out, decending.


Falcons of the genus Falco, of the Sun God, Ra,

Long, pointed wings for agility, rapidity, thrust, drag;

Harbingers of vision, spiritual connection, universal power;

Revered by the Indigenous, spirit guides delivering prayer.


Red Kites, Ospreys, Buzzards, Sparrowhawks, Kestrels;

Goshawks, Tawny Owls, Barn Owls, Little Owls, Harriers;

Sharp sighted, soaring high, breaking all barriers,

Teaching us freedom, strength, inner peace and intuition.
