Being the night owl I am
Letting the shadows envelope Me
Not knowing when I'll return
Walking for hours on end
Never knowing where I'll be
Feeling the warm winds swirl
Standing next to an old elm
I rest against the tree
In the distance My eyes see a girl
I feel the swoop of an owl
I let out a short scream
That is when My family came and took Me away from My world

I enjoyed this, and understand night owls. That was one of my nicknames as a child.
I missed your first posts, but am happy to welcome you now.

But you never left your world

not did you adopt their world

You allow yourself to understand both worlds

World yours
  world mine
    who knows

Where one is one
   and all points
     inbetween float aimlessly

This world or that
    who can say
       anything but truth
amidts the pounding everythings
     "What's true in your mind IS true"

"High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy."
