In the night
Stillness lays over the land
Creatures sleep
Silently, peacefully
But something around does creep
A listening ear hears
the creeping
Patiently, carefully
It leaves the branch
to take wing
Beady eyes rove the
field
Silent wings glide
The darkness is this owl's shield
What’s that?
The mouse feels a
presence
The ground, its paws
no longer pat
Tension weights the
air
Mouse and owl
The fight is not fair
The owl swoops
The mouse scurries
The night world roots
but to no avail
The owl takes to his
branch
Satisfied for yet another night
