What the Eye Sees the Heart Cannot Forget

Deep within the forest dark Where moonlight cast an eerie glow Fear soon finds its tender mark As a pounding heart awaits its woe In the distance, an owl asks "who" The answer lost somewhere in the woods But its eyes and ears are attuned to prey Where a beast unseen lies in wait Surreal the scene the owl now sees As he makes his silent flight A woman dressed in ghostly white Holds a dove, despair its plight Is she the sacrificial lamb? The virgin gift to the dragon? Her heart is filled with dread and fear She knows the end is near She releases the dove to the unseen beast But the owl does not miss a beat He hears the flapping of wings As he pursues the snow white dove Soon, crimson feathers fall into the trees And the woman's scream echoes through the night - 2/27/17 Photo# 1
