Wake Me, the Owl, When the Moon Does Rise

Wake me, the owl, when the moon does rise and his golden beams illuminate the skies, when the darkness flees and the time just flies and the cold, crystal stars twinkle in our eyes. Nothing could keep me from basking in your glow not lightning, not thunder, not even rain or snow, I'm not moving from my branch, so let the winds blow his crescent smile is never lost, this I surely know. So easily the moon enchants and takes me by the wing which causes my heart to flutter, and serenade and sing, The daytime sun does not possess the charm that he can bring when under his nightly influence, you can imagine anything. Still, no dream can entice me to sleep in a little late and miss the wonder of the moment, O, I cannot wait, to see him there hurrying along, not to miss a date then up above the hills to meet me at my wooden gate. I'll wait right here, nestled up high in the maple tree where you will hear my echoed call, but hardly ever see, a little, lonesome night owl is what I will always be when the moon does rise, just promise you'll wake me.

I'm so glad you did! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and leave your kind comments James ... I love owls, they are my favorite animal, and yes there is something just so beautiful about those mysterious creatures :)

I positively love this, Kelly. We have three owls and at least one family in the back yard. Often I awake on sleepless nights and hear them start up. Marci has a relationship with one of them who flies to stand on our bird feeder when she comes out. They just sit and watch each other. I'm printing a copy of this poem for her.

I am so glad you enjoyed my poem, Mark, and I hope Marci did, too... I hear the owls calling out almost every night, but I never actually see them. Still, they are my favorite animal :)

Mysterious, revered, and at times both feared and loathed. A creature that invokes so many different emotions and thoughts; synonymous with the night! Nicely done, Kelly! My very best regards...And warmest wishes. :) john P.s A seven.

Thank you so much, Daver... I'm not sure why owls fascinate us so much, but they do. They seem to be the most mysterious animal, maybe that's the reason? ... I just know that owls are probably my favorite animal :)
