Tawny Owl

Tawny Owl

Are you hither

Your rustle is heard

Like a whisper

🌑

Your presence

I can sense

That eerie feeling

and suspense

🌑

Always close

but never seen

Hidden in the tree

so green

All the creatures in nature are incredible and amazing. It is interesting that in a world where there are so many different types of creatures, that they all get along and all have found their own environment. It is true that some kill others but they are killed only for food, and when they are not looking for food, they can be side by side with another creature that they might kill at other times, but it is clearly never with malice. The owls particularly have such beautiful big eyes full of a kind of wisdom that goes far beyond the immediate into the ancient past. Thank you so kindly. This leaves me with the good feeling that nature brings to us in all its splendor.

Lovely poem 🙂 Sadly, we no more hear the hoots of an owl since we don’t have a lot of trees around here. I don’t seem to see them anywhere at all.
Reminds me of the time that once was.

    They certainly are. My liking for them stems from the Harry Potter movies… Hedwig? Are you a potterhead by any chance?
