My two favourite subjects - owls and the moon

Snowy Owl

Snowy ghost

you silently glide

through inky moonlit

star-speckled skies.

You swoop down

with grace and elegance

to visit fairy tales,

haunt castles, spires

and witches’ dreams.

The stuff of magic and

ancient stories,

spells deftly laced

with flowing wings.

Celestial wisdom,

ethereal beauty

encaptures, enchants.

You glide, you rise

through stardust

shadowed by

a cool watery,

watchful moon.
