A Light Observance

In the evening as I reclined,
A screech owl came to my drowsy mind.
He sat upon a peeled elm limb,
And he looked at me, I looked at him.

As I enjoyed the coral sunset,
My owl sat in sepia silhouette.
Morning will bring his sleepy call,
And I'll rise with coffee for you all.

I hope your screech owl wasn't too screechy! Beautiful lines, especially 'coral sunset'
