Owl

Just a little something to go with my drawing...

 Owl : By John Walker

 

With eyes all seeing 

They look all knowing

They pierce my very being

I shiver while outside, it is still snowing

 

A calling, as the night begins to unfold

A sound so clear and keen 

Wondering at what is untold 

For what could it mean?? 

 

With graceful movements all so clear

Sweeping down to embrace ones life

A scream echoing in my mind, all so near

A world there is no living without pain or strife

 

Sitting high up before us all

Looking up for us all to see

Never to close as we hear the unending call 

Seeing one before us that is wild and so free

Got a Poe-sque touch of THE RAVEN about it. Always found owls fascinating myself ... all seeing and silent. xxx
