The owls await
peeking from their burrow
greeting the day.
I capture a snapshot
as they exit and lounge
on green grass
knowing that it's different
than yesterday's.
They are not modeling new fur,
or wearing a hat,
nor a new disposition,
but something is changed
even if I can't pinpoint to what it is.
I watch with joy every time
we meet.
" Good morning", I utter,
they look back silently.
Some days they shy away
and hide.
Sometimes they meet my gaze,
their brave souls shinning
through bright eyes
but I

Oh goodness. how cool it would be to be so close to owls. We get them rarely here, or maybe I just see them rarely. What cool creatures. Cool to see them grow and change as well. I used to live near a raptor sanctuary where they helped them heal and got to see eagles and owls up close.

ReplyDeleteAyala: Your poem reminded me of the owls that visit us every summer. They carve out a space in the cradle of a cactus near our home. Loved revisiting my memories of owls through your words. Thank you.
ReplyDeletesuch beauty of life!
ReplyDeleteI hear them at night not far from me...your poem is sweet
ReplyDeleteOh, what a thrill. Thanks for letting us share it.
ReplyDeleteHow WONDERFUL to watch baby owls growing stronger every day. I am blown away by that. And they trust you, to come so close. Lovely. This was wonderful in every way!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your owls with us today. They are beautiful. It seems strange that owls would next in a burrow. I think of them as being in trees. Peace, Linda
