Great Grey Owl for Halloween

walking through the woods
feeling the soft give to the forest floor
even though it snowed 4 inches last night

looked up to watch snow plopping from trees above

there you were
a great grey owl
looking into my eyes

a calm majestic being
sitting at the meadow's edge
listening
watching
waiting

so perfect for Halloween
and
Samhain

lovely celebrations to one and all
