Owl Who Who? By Gio Masserati Poem by Gio Masserati

Owl Who who?

Last night I saw an owl
he, or she, flew so close to my side of the car
I felt like the owl was touching me with his wing
sure seemed like the biggest seagull I've ever seen
wings outstretched in full span

then at the end of the street
as we waited at the stoplight
it landed on a sign
and peered at me with outstretched upperbody
looking deep into my eyes

I rolled down the window, awestruck
at how piercing the moment became
then, I said a few sweet words to my white beautiful owl
before leaving his presence

what could it mean I asked?
I thought about this happening
deciding that the owl sighting was saying, 'Gain wisdom! '

I had asked for Godly leaders to pray for me, my future
and for a special man I met
someone like David, and Joseph, and Noah in the bible
imperfect men like me
forgiven
lovers of much more than self and money
men with a heart after God's own heart

I am now waiting more calmly and patiently
with the covering of wisdom and prayer
as I also pray for this man and future

I also saw another owl the same night on my new t-shirt
