Question who I am- covered in a grey, fibrous cloak
Imagine my presence as I soundlessly surf skies forth your
forward facing eyes
I am an aspect of azure nights
Frozen forests
Tranquil trees
Watch knives lacerate a pulsing jugular
Not a sound seeps from my throat
A nocturnal nomad
Yellow eyes unattended, meet fiery sunsets
I am a Great Grey Owl-
Forever an elusive, spellbinding spirit
by Jessica Herzog
This yellow eyed being made my day. My family and I went skiing and suddenly, we see this owl perched on a tree right next to the road. I've wanted to see one since moving to Alaska. Finally! Holding still to take the picture was impossible.
