Owl Soul

Owls are my favorite animals and this is why.

 

My heart, all I’ve wanted to know.

When is the day

I could fly away?

 

You believe I’ll

always be here,

but my nocturnal body

will not rest.

 

If I could I would

fly though the forest

at night.

 

So this time I will tell you

that we are different.

You may sleep at night,

but that’s when I truly feel alive.

 

I have so many secrets

held within my chest.

With a contact hunger

for wisdom.

At times I even feel

connected to the future.

  

The moon feels better

then the sun.

My dreams are morbid

and sweet.

 

I don’t need the light to see,

I don’t need ears to hear.

 

I believe we’re different.

Very nice. This describes a soul at home at night when most of the world moves about by day.

Simple but sweet.

Beautifully written! I really liked these lines:The moon feels better
then the sun.
My dreams are morbid
and sweet.
I also liked how you wrote about having an owl soul which something I've never heard of and it's very original. Great write I look forward to reading the rest of your poems and writing!!!

I love owls too. I can picture an owl just flying through the night as I read this. Funny, though, I can also picture that owl as a human. Though, that was surely the point. Nice write
