Wise Old Owl

Perched upon my window seal while looking up at the moon I was listening for the night bird's song when an welcoming "Who", echoed across my room. Hello Wise Old Owl, with your bright eyes and gentle call. Tell me how to achieve such wisdom sitting in the trees that stands so tall. He turned his head and again he gave a "Who". You, I said, Your the one I am talking to. Don't you have any words of wisdom for the one sitting in your presence and talking to you? Another "Who" danced into the air and just then I realized why he didn't share. It wasn't because he didn't care. He is the keeper of knowledge in the forest place and he charmingly protects the animals from the human race. I understood his wisdom and questioned him no more, and wished the Wise Old Owl a goodnight before closing the window and heading to bed, across my creaky floor.
