I am an Owl

I am an owl, quiet and observant, having the stars and the night inside me. I wonder what there is in the deep depths of the sea. I hear the foreign sounds of other birds’ songs around me. I see the spirit of life in the humans that walk past me. I want them to see my wings when I fly in the breathtaking night. I am an owl. I pretend I enjoy math so I do not disappoint.  I feel underwhelmed with all of the worldly desires around me. I touch the stars when I fly too high, the moon warning me. I worry that I will never be seen. I cry when all of my anxiety catches up to me. I am an owl. I understand that when life leaves the earth, it is somewhere better. I believe that God holds our life gently in his hands. I dream that we will all be on one side; no one will be astray. I try to care for my kin when they are afraid to soar high. I hope I will eventually fly high with no fear. I am an owl.
