Light is poison
To the eyes of an owl
Its fear of light is like
Human’s fear of darkness
II
You light your path in the dark
Knowing not you’re woe to an owl
And its generation
And you attribute your snooping to its help?
III
Flat lies are too shameful
When they walk in daylight
In pencilled heels
In the full glare of known eyes
IV
So light for backdoored flights
Never tell the owl it is for its good
An owl like me needs darkness
To function in living
Know my nature before getting an alibi

Interesting comparisons with a bit of an educational background. I know owls are nocturnal creatures but never thought of the light affecting them in such a way.

Yes it does. They can’t search for food in the light. They need darkness to fully utilise their eyes.

So many are the lines hard just to pick one. Great parallels that you did. The owl, the path, this one is a keeper. Many blessings Cecilia
