the first owl








my best friend and i have been remembering the days we spent at a magical place down south in the summer. we slept over in a yurt at shadow woods and listened to owls tu-whit and tu-whoo as the dawn crept in and we became delirious with illness.


i watched our barn owl encircle a field with a horse in it as the rain lashed down and a family of field mice scurried underneath the slowly turning season's leaves.


i saw my first ever damson fly and i remembered oak trees from my past.

we will go back there and explore to our heart's content.

i'm sure of it.
