across the plain
sounds night’s refrain
I love the sound
of a coyote’s howl
the night waits too long
to show her face
as day drags on
and on and on
there is something wild and free
about the night
like the leopard released
from the zookeeper’s cage
free to roam the universe
her thirst assuage
at day’s begone
comes night’s release
shackles thrown off
and earthen gates ajar
aye, I love the sound
of a coyote’s howl

such an eerie sound it can be
but I too, love the calls of the wild things
~am enraptured by a hooting owl~
~the rustling sound of critters crawling through the grasses~
and especially
~the cry of a loon~

thanks for sharing this

...the coyote's howl...

and the hoot of an inquisitive owl...

as could be heard
on a very early morning walk
while the stars still gave light
and the air knew cool...

Saw this the other day, Tim...
so glad it was bounced back up...
