THE HOOT OWL AND I Sometimes I hear a lonely Hoot Owl's call And see his bright eyes through the darkened wood As mournful nights do suddenly befall He hoots again as if I understood.. I wonder if he thinks the same as me As I sit crying on my cabin porch Our hoots and cries send echoes through each tree Our lonely hearts are like a beacon torch.. For both of us, our mates have gone away They've spread their wings, and taken off in flight To be with other lovers come what may And left us here to live the lonely night.. Sometimes I see the Hoot Owl's silhouette Whenever a full moon hangs in the sky Somehow we always sing a sad duet Unto our loneliness ... we testify.. mutington/joyce "I can live by myself, but not within myself."

Joyce, I absolutely love this. It reminds me so much of the loon's cry. And I do understand. Thank you so much for sharing this. |

Your magnificent talent flows through each word you pen filling them with emotion. I am just glad that you have such a talent for writing that which is not personal experience or my tears would have joined with the hoot owls cries. **big hugs** very, very well done.  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Joyce, this is so so sad, my heart goes out to all the true loons of the world through vision that are betrayed in the flight of love! (big hugggsssss) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, your words are always a delightful treasure! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

J. Lady... As usual, another exceptional write... and I like the call of the owl too... I listen to the owls at night when out fishing. Two mates calling back and forth...So beautiful, but sometimes sad... |
