Night Owl

Night Owl 
A feathered creature lurking into the night 
They never sleep in the darkness delight 
Always aware of its strange surroundings 
Moves quietly and peacefully observing 
With haunted and luminous yellow eyes 
A night owl watches everything simultaneously 
Balanced miles high looking down concentrating 
Night owls prey and hunt ruthlessness viewing 
Amphibians, reptiles, insects, rodents, fish and other flying birds 
A skilled nocturnal hunter to devour 
A captivating but rugged night creature 
Adapt in its own inhabitant hiding in the darkest shadows  
They survive in the cool breeze nightly 
As a unique predator under surveillance like an eagle eye 
Sitting, just waiting up high in silent  
The night owl plunges from the tree top descending into the ruins  
Another kill and another delicious feast 
Everything dead is beautiful food anchored to the sky
