All Earthly Things Wait


As I walked through the woods
Alone that night,
I happened upon
Two owls in flight

Dipping and diving,
They made their way
Silhouetted against
The night's cold grey

I marveled at how
They soared with grace
The snow falling gently
Upon my face

I knew I should go
I'd stayed too long
But I just couldn't leave
Their beauty, too strong

All earthly things wait
While I stand all alone
But it's now getting late
And I have to go home.
