Silent Hunter

Mr. Ed's write on an owl sighting got me to thinking and doing a little research. This is the result...


I am a keeper of secrets
hidden from the light
Which my perfect night vision
and 270 degree view
allows me to perceive

A solitary hunter
I move silenty
and smoothly on the wind
I know when to be still
And reveal my presence
at the proper time

I come now to open your eyes
and tell you to observe
Listen to what surrounds you
Your inner vision
will alert you to deception
that is not within your sight

 

 

L.G. Figgins (c) 2009

Wise words to live by. Coming from a wise source(:

L., I liked this the words flowed so easily into form.
"Silent Hunter" is quite befitting to such a mysterious bird and yet a bird that seems so wise as they say. I have had the opportunity to observe an owl up close as a matter of fact it did not seem the least bit worried about my observance. I was baffled as it sat there on the fence allowing me to onlook.

Wonderful penning of such the "Silent Hunter"
Thank you and take care,
Gwendolyn

This is so true, our only protection is our inner vision and our conscience, sadly this is our second nature, if we were owls it would be our first as it should be.

Excellent, Pierre

The owls have it! Honing one's inner vision is a lifetime task well worth the effort. Wonderful write, LG.

John said it all, Linda. I bow to your talent, your skill,
in opening my eyes. I'll take all the wisdom I can get.

Linda,
This poem has the atmosphere of wisdom, the bird traditionally as canny and observant but beyond that as a guiding spirit, a guru, a raiser of consciousness, and all conveyed in such a positive style and tone.

Owls truly are magnificent creatures, and I really like your poem. And now, you have me convinced that my Night Caller was trying to tell me something. Love that graphic, too.
