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.
