One-Eyed Owl
perching on the treetops tonight,
like an all-seeing, one-eyed owl,
a newly awakened yolky moon
beams down my town road
by the river, near the sea;
its silvery glow quietly quiets
anxieties of this hurt heart,
turns everything lustrous,
magical, as I pick my way
by the river, near the sea;
each stone, thicket and tree
is transformed into a friendly
shimmering shadow savoring
the solace and serenity here
by the river, near the sea;
as breeze from rising salt tide
whiffs briny, marshy scents
and, with me whistling low,
a bird serenades that moon
by the river, near the sea !
