The specific description is of a Blue Heron flying low over the water at High Rock Lake, in Davidson County NC. I think though that many of use have met "Low Flyers" that catch us unaware.
Winsome wisps of essence form
A translucent image
Painted on a summer sky
Waiting for a random sortie
Flying low and gracefull
Across the quiet waters
Hunting for a place to rest
Watching the ever present
Plethora of life
To sate the ravenous desire
And devour its watery cuisine
Dreaming wistfully of the perfect place
As the quest for more
Drives the wanton need
To take the flesh and consume it whole
Flush with passionate hunger
Lest the slimy prey escapes
And forces the restless predator
To find another adventure.
