Seen and Unseen

Barred Owl 2025.10.11
Barred Owl
Cool Autumn, gentle rustling of leaves from the wind and footfalls.
Stirred awake, searching for the source beyond, a question appears.
What is within that seeks the source of all things, seen and unseen?

Day Dreams

Barred Owl - 2025.10.05
Barred Owl
Quietly contemplating the happenings of the fading day.
Disturbed by sights and sounds, all the while sleeping in fits and starts.
Night is coming soon and the world you dream of will come alive.

Parliament is in Session

Barred Owl, Eastern-Screech Owl, Great Horned Owl, Great Grey Owl, Snowy Owl
Birds of a feather, gathered together in conversation.
Exchanging their stories of adventures past and tomorrow.
What tales would you share with the feathered Parliament of wisdom?

Comfy

Barred Owl
On a cold morning, Sunshine reaches out in a warm embrace.
The light of day is for rest while the night is for survival.
What will be found and lost searching for the comforts in life?

Persistent

Barred Owl
A family of trees, forever green in the coldest of seasons.
The family holding a hunter of the night, silent on the wing.
Persistent in their aims, yet I must know, why is this so?

Autumn Owl

Barred Owl
Wind-blown leaves rustling all around in the late afternoon.
Autumn marches on, stopping for nothing, caring not for us.
May we have but one wish: to have this moment be eternal?

Maple Tree Owl

Barred Owl
The cacophony of complaints echoes from all around you.
Seeking to drive you to flee, you wait out their impatience.
On this day, the only winning move is not to play their game.

Silent Observer

Barred Owl
Silently observing the world, connected to what we see.
Ever-changing shades of colour and meaning before our eyes.
How much of what we see do we truly know and understand?

Tempting Fate

Barred Owl
Faced with the unknown, decisions made in the present moment.
To confront or to concede, the mind wavers and stalls unsure.
What do we do in our daily lives that is tempting our fates?

Sanctuary Amongst Dead Trees

Barred Owl
Hidden amongst the trees, living, dying, and dead, you are still.
The forest offers sanctuary, but you remain aware.
Others are ever vigilant to expose you to the world.
