Stars swirl in a midnight sky as
The forest tiptoes through darkness,
Aware only of itself.
The owls have returned.
Their voices in chorus give life to the darkness.
A fox barks back to them in welcome,
His winter loneliness forgotten.

Ah…my owls change their location to the edge of my property in the spring…so I’m missing them right now…enjoyed the mood you created with your verse.

Thank you, aren’t owls wonderful!! I just love listening to them in the woods just behind my house. I live in a little cottage way back off the road in the woods. Lots of animal friends out here but I think my favorites are the owls. Love hearing them late at night hooting to each other!
