The night falls
More quickly these days
In silence,
Draped in a choking haze
Outside, an owl
Screeches my name,
What is he saying?
What does he claim?
That I took the stars
And blackened the sky,
Says the moon doesn’t shine
And he wants to know why
Hear his cry,
Ear splitting, so unnerved
Surely this raptor
Is somewhat perturbed
Still I cannot see,
What he sees, in the dark
An ebony field,
Laid barren and stark
From the one thing
That has forsaken his land
The strike of a match,
By a human hand
He has lost his home,
His place to hide
His family, no longer
By his side
Taken down in a hail
Of smoke and flame
The owl, he weeps,
And I am to blame…
Author’s Note: Seven new large fires were reported 11/5/2020, three in Idaho, two in Kansas, and one each in Minnesota and Montana. Nationally, 36 large fires have burned 2.8 million acres. (source: National Interagency Fire Center). Before you flick that lit cigarette, or leave a campfire unattended and burning, think about how many lives you could be destroying, both wild and human.

I’ve brought a tasty morsel
Thought you deserved a treat
I know it’s been quite awhile
Since you’ve had some to eat
I found this little worm
Hanging freely, from a tree
Grabbed him, as I flew by
It’s dinnertime, you see!
No need to set the table
This is only meant for two
Pretty soon, we’ll have to share
When greeting our new crew!
Ah, Mama Bird, how proud I am
To call this place our home
Here, we’ll raise a family
And never shall we roam
And though the kids will leave us
While I know, it’s for the best
I will stay here, by your side
You and me, in our little nest

Leaf becomes shelter
When two get caught in the rain
Nature’s umbrella
