Moon-hunter, soft-feathered flyer!
Your night spell calls me
into its cool radiance.
Shadow-bird, doom-carrier of our ancestors!
Your heart-shaped face blesses
the simple expedient of crossing paths.
Night-singer, winged dancer of spring!
I hear in your unchanging voice
a time-trapped music I too can sing.
A poet finds beauty in this fearsome nocturnal bird too. Reading the notes, I felt that the bird's circling around and darting up and down could have been a terrifying experience, if you had believed in what the ancestors associated with the bird! Enjoyed all the epithets used on this bird, especially 'the doom- carrier of our ancestors'! Here in our part of the country the owl is still looked upon as bird of ill omen! To be frank, I feel a tinge of fear when I hear the hooting of an owl which is 'time trapped music' to you! Enjoyed!

Really beautiful description here. Reminds me of my research that went into BIRDHOUSE. Owls specifically are one of the most magnificent birds. If an owl could speak, what do you think it would tell you?
