The Great Spirit has given you more than you can bear

So much wisdom to carry on your wings as light as air

.

When your world turns to ice you must find a way to burn

When your world turns to fire you must give yourself to learn

When your feathers turn to air

You find courage there

.

Watching over us with your icy stare

No one seems to notice

The wisdom waiting there

The skyline is owned only by you

You chose the dreams that break through

.

There are spaces in the sky that are just for you to fly

There are stars that are seen only by your eyes

Soaring silent in the night

Inspiring fight or flight

Very still

Very still

You see it all

You hear it all

.

You are there and I will wait for the honor of your call

When I hear you say my name, I will know I've seen it all

.

There are spaces in the sky that are just for you to fly

There are stars that are seen only by your eyes

Soaring silent in the night

Inspiring fight or flight

Very still

Very still

You see it all

You hear it all

I love to hear the call of the Owl. Owls need wilderness. One time I saw three baby owls that had just learned to fly. I past under the limb they were sitting on. It was just two feet over my head. They didn't fly until my dogs ran up the same path. They took off without a sound.

It's spooky how quiet they are in flight. They go right over your head and if you didn't look up, you would never know it. I hear them hooting all the time here. Mostly the Great Horned ones, but I've heard barred owls too -- their cry is pretty distinctive.

Nice poem. I made a drawing of an owl.
