The Barn Owl

In silent air on silent wing
the deadly flight to one will find
unwelcome communion in the gloom
that hails the never-ending night

The heart shaped face belies the truth
imparting spiritual grace
a beating heart then nothing more 
a flash of white then empty space

Ben Hamilton Date: 3/9/2015 4:05:00 PM Thank you Jan, this particular one was inspired by a photograph I took of a barn owl. Incidentally there was a very good programme about owls on BBC2 (still available on i-player if you haven't seen it yet. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b054fn09/natural-world-20152016-2-super-powered-owls
