Hollow
fluting
dusk defining
a night voice heralding a midnight clear.
Through the melting gold of sunset
borne aloft
rising
soaring.
Shivering
mournful
melancholy wafting
drawing the darkness under-wing.
'Neath the beeches I await thee
heart racing
tense
eager.
Dimpsy's
chill
fast falling
your voice and mine rejoice the eve.
Swift in flight you lace the branches
invisible traces
silence
binding.
Velvet
silken
with guile
you weave a pre-dawn magic.
So honoured I that you answer
my call
lost
forlorn.
Dusk
midnight
dawns awaking
all my life I've known thee.
Escort my heart now sweet wizard
carry me
high
away.
Sore
broken
my spirit
craves your freedom, marry me.
Wedded
kindred
souls united
owl and woman in wooded bliss.
