As I walked the forest one chilly night
An owl descended through the light
It was a stillness that drew me in
To ponder her majestic grin
Many hours passed but I drew deeper still
The black butterfly I followed until
I had lost my ways and all I heard
Unsettled silence as of other world
But calm I remained and took a step
A step too many, for night had leapt
My legs have grown sore and weary
My bird had gone and soul came dreary
And I must have given to a seeking sleep
For the time had lost all its keep
When awoke I was, by a falling stone
Rejoiced I thought to have not be alone
But night had still shadowed large
For the rose bush to feel its wrath
Puzzled I was by the distant shape
That left a misted Earth in wakeWww@QuestionHome@Com
