The Owl Fly by night By day you rest No flock for you In your solitary quest Wise beyond your years Or so it seems Have you given up on all? Or do you still have dreams? Who is this bird? This bird I see Do you long for a companion? Or company? I watch you fly Wings spread in flight So lost and alone On this quiet night Who is this bird? Will you answer me? Flying alone Your soul is free Who is this bird? This bird I see Who is this bird? So much like me  ------------------ This is courage...to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends. ~Eurpides |

I can just feel how much you are longing for flight, my dear! Another great offering. |

Okay guys, thank you all. This is another one of those that I really don't think is very good. I only posted it because of a comment Nan made about me writing about owls. This is really the only poem I have about an owl. Thanks for your comments |

Lady Hoot: I like all kinds of music, but one of my favorite bands is the Canadian trio "Rush." Back in the 70's they did a LP called "Fly By Night" which of course feature a big white owl on the cover and had a song by the same title. If I can ever find the lyrics, I'll pass them along. I think you would like them. Have a good evening! |

Lovely, Ruth.... You didn't like it? I don't know anyone who really appreciates their own work. I never do...LOL ------------------ "To waken doubt in one Holding so fast by thine infinity; So surely anchored on The steadfast rock of immortality." ...Emily Bronte, "Last Lines" |

Exactly Andrew! That was the song to pop into my head when I started reading this too! Fly on Ruth, fly free! |
