    carried off by owls


    carried off by owls-


    when i was young
    i listened to their night music
    see them rule in the moonlight
    majestic beings in ethereal clearings
    wide-eyed wonder in slight light

    wild and free on the wing
    wind through my hair and howls
    an immeasurable and pleaseurable a thing
    to be carried off by owls

    our friends the bat and rat
    the precocious, the ferocious, the curious
    we are children baptized in mist
    last to the party, last kissed

    we are starlight, we are stunning
    we are private pirate prowls
    no more walking no more running
    when you're carried off by owls

    I love how your writes always evoke some sort of emotion from me...I smile at most and cry at others..."The precious, the ferocious, the curious"...Mankind at its best I'd say...Hope all remains well with you and your family...Stay safe and blessed...

    Thank you DAH! How have you been. I haven’t been writing as much because I am concentrating on my art. Be well.
