The Owl Said

I can see the whole world
Though earth is painted black
The zephyr blows gentle at dark
I can see everything at night

My wide big eyes can wander
with a creep voice that can lather 
I’m a nocturnal creature in the dark
I’d love to live night forever

Silent night screams so loud
I can listen snuffles of my prey
The sharp claws on my feet
Perfectly match on my beak

Listen to my wings as I fly
I’m the wide eye wanderer at night
No one has seen me glisten at dark
Wish I have chance to fly till morning
