One of my Favorite Birds

“Through the darkness, the call of the owl invites us to reflect, to meditate, in that suspended moment where time seems to stop.”
― David Passarelli, Mountain poems: Musings on stone, forest, and snow

Owl
Wiser than can be
Seeing great at night
Flying quieter over the sea
Making hope shine bright

“The owl,” he was saying, “is one of the most curious creatures. A bird that stays awake when the rest of the world sleeps. They can see in the dark. I find that so interesting, to be mired in reality when the rest of the world is dreaming. What does he see and what does he know that the rest of the world is missing?”

Horns and Eyes – http://owlpoems.tumblr.com/

Two feathery tufts rise off a building
Next to an open park.
Powerful large eyes sight-fully gliding
Over the grass and dark.

These striking yellows gaze,
This view they take.
Dusk has left its haze.
It is good to be awake.

“Old being, old thing,
so stout and wise.
You look down from the tree,
Knowing that I am here.

You stare long
You stare hard
And never look away.

You remember don’t you.
Peer at something else and
This spirit you see standing,
May well disappear.”
