Forest Owl
The color of the trees
he blends into the foliage perfectly

My lone little night owl.
Green and brown
light reflecting

wonderfully
camouflaged from those who are looking
not seeing.
I am looking,
I am seeing,

My little night owl.
Eyes big and coal deep
peer into the soul of my heart
all the while
soundless wings beat the night air,
carrying you towards

away, from me.

I shall miss you

My little night owl
with your vibrant

natural
green and brown wings
big coal eyes
will seek me out

someday
when your wings grow weary
and you’ve had your fill
blending into the forest

Good-bye

My little night owl
Good-bye and good luck.
