The Snowy Owl

When the sun sets in the western sky And night descends upon the land The snowy owl awakes from his rest And in the forest seeks a dinner guest This nocturnal hunter sits and waits With one graceful swoop from it's branch Appears like a white ghost Swiftly and silently gets it's prey Any movements noticed In one swoop catches it's meal.
