Owls

the owls nest in mountains high
the treetops make their perfect view
to see the coming lofty horizon
day or night, their vision is keen
as they take flight on sturdy wings
to survey their legions far beneath
they take clear providence of the sky
the rapture of raptors in silent flight
surprising their prey from great heights
gallant in posing once fed, restored,
he awaits the familiar passerby
who looks on in curiosity to inquire of wisdom
and yet, the owl merely turns his head
ignoring the ignorant, his wing o’er his eyes
and goes to sleep for the day to pass
renewing his hunt when the rodents roam

somewhere through his dark dominion
