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
