Maiden Flight

On her maiden flight
From the eyrie to the Castle's Delight
Far beyond the tiny hills
Far beyond she'd ever been!
Soaring high till the sky turned black, gliding
Across the land, never to return back!
And then,
She could smell it, all of a sudden.
Delicious carrion of the Castle's Delight.
She opened her eyes to her mother's tale Unfolding,
Her little beak gaping for more, emptying
Her crop, like she never ate before!

Teary-eyed mother made it sure
The fledge is fearless, ready to soar!
