Winged predator soars

Hunter, Seeker, Death Bringer

Tressed, bound, enslaved, free

************************************************

The falcon, while tressed and bound, is yet free. This image is a goal for which we, as people, strive. We shall always be bound by things: Love, duty, honor, hunger, biology… …. Yet each must strive within those bounds to seek that which makes them feel free.

Haiku
