Owling at the Moon

…

Tucked deep into fireside
downy sleep, she listens.

A distant heart cries
Whooooo?

Oh, feathered hope,
I wish I knew.

    For several years, I lived in an apartment from where I could hear an owl at night. It felt just as in your poem.

    “feathered hope” such a fitting description of hope.
    I read this as a mother’s hope toward her young daughter. I remember as a young girls just being fascinated by the fact that I might one day be married — and indeed, whoooooo in the world would it end up being!
    Love your title as well – as usual 🙂

    Nicely done, that sound of the Owl is certainly unique and you feel this in your words.
