Owl

Mysterious eerie visage of full moon comes forth There is eerie wild sound coming from woods to the north It will have its grip on soul of the night henceforth And it will be sound underlying mystery thenceforth It is the owl making ho-ho resonance as it flew above the meadow And then disappeared in moon lighten shadow Her eyes giving off predatory glow They say some birds can carry soul from heavens to Earth bellow The owl that makes that eerie sound Suggests that her soul is unbound And that is profound Because things from other side of the moon by her are found Athena is known to have an owl Not raven duck or waterfowl It was an owl That not only midnight forest but spirit world would prowl Athena and her owl were followed by a cult What would owl bring to our world question is difficult Maybe it is mind that needs no foundation to reach result Not referenced by continuity only to its definition would be this result There is something about those forward facing eyes There is something about the silence with which owl transverses the skies There is something about abyss like depth that in her eyes lies When the eyes pierce through one’s very soul one knows owl is wise
