As silently as an untold secret,
an owl passed over our headsinto trees and out of our view
forever. People, creatures,
and things visit our lives,
then leave. Come in, go out.
And each of us passes by
or into lives of others,
and then we leave. They
forget, we forget, and then
once upon a future, we die.
And the unseen owl has seized
something to eat & takes it
to the nest in a forest beyond dreaming.
