Owl Serenade

whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
startling me ……………………………….the first time
in the dark, surrounding me, coming from
God only knew what direction.

I stood motionless, marveling at owl’s hollowness.
It was as if she makes her own unique echo.
whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I hear her much more often now,
but 
I am ready
Not nearly as frightened.
Does my hair still stand up on my arms? Sure.
