Solitary Owl

Eye of time changed the forest, the perch
my owl sister, so eternal your search
so mournful your yearn
return

A yellow eye awaken
memory of the moments forsaken?
in your echo a solitary tear
disappear

Lonely calls hauntingly
for the Soul you couldn’t grasp, slipped away, untimely.

Screech my soul her eye closed from the daylight,
dare it scorch the Shadow she holds so dear.

When words riven from the very soul are as poignant and heartfelt as this, the result is beautiful poetry.

A sublime yet piquant anniversary write of such a sad event.
