The Albatross

Perched on the high mountain

On an isolated rock,

Sat he.

Watching the world beneath him,

Eyes, attentive to activity. 

Planning his next meal.

The water flowed

Smoothly down the slope,

In a cascading waterfall.

What a breathtaking sight,

The mountain, the waterfall

And the Albatross.
