Wingspan larger than a thousand years,
one loose feather swirling down to Earth,
stirring salt in life’s primordial
soup.
Lending stealth and voice to Harriet,
sheltering her in night’s fearsome grace,
recognizing kindred flight for life’s
sake.
Mistress of the dark domain, Owl swoops
in silence, guards the sleeping soul until
the dawn, sun shatters cover, piercing light
shines.
