"
I walked to a local cathedral tonight, it's
The second time I've walked those words
Circling that stone inlaid castle.

On the way home, I met an owl.

Silent wings sung as it dove, 
Ironically, straight for my head.

No word of a lie, it's the second owl I've seen today.

The first in the form of a photograph -
The second on the way home from a holy site.

It's the second meeting that has me awestruck; 
It dove and I ducked - than while perched 
It watched me wander my way home.

An odd night for owls - and an odd night to be awestruck 
For what seems like the fifth time, by the way your words
Fit effortlessly into the hollow that I have let erode my heart.

An odd night to be awestruck twice.

And I hope I'm not making any mistake
But if what I have, is something you want

Than by all means, it is yours to take.
