![]() Artist: Cedric Colond On Wing of Owl by Linda L. Dowd I rise at night on wing of owl into the darkness of Father Sky. Waxing moon casts light along my path of flight, as my soul roams freely o'er Mother Earth below. . |

I read this in the wee hours last night, and felt like a mouse frozen in the shadow beneath the great owl's wings. A few years ago a small barn owl flew into my headlights as I slowly drove a twisting road around the bay after dark. It was so stunned, but remained standing on the yellow line of the road after I'd turned around to see the damage done. I didn't know what to do, but soft yellow light gleamed from a nearby house so I knocked on the door. As heaven would have it, the man who lived there worked for the Audoubon refuge in Bandon. We gently put a jacket over the bird and set it inside a box. He was released back into his own domain a couple of weeks later, hopefully wiser, but no worse for the wear. I love it when I get to see a miracle of God's heart. ![]() |

I'd love to fly as beautifully and gracefully as your words do Linda. I am a bit of a night owl myself, and often see them, white as banshees, swooping over the common when I go walking. |

Yo Linda, Owl's are very silent, expert flyers. They are sneaky, lovely birds. Then of course there are the human night Owls, they are great too. BTW, nice poem and picture. Love Bobby |
