Hoo Hoo

On my frequent walks
Through the neighborhoods
Around town
I often hear an owl
Though I can not see it
I search among the trees
Knowing it is there
It's figure hidden
In the leaves, and
It reminds me of you
Like the sun and the moon
Sharing the same sky
Playing different roles
But ever present
One not always within the other's sight
But whose arrival is guaranteed
Forgiven for not always returning
At the same time
Like waves being pulled in
And out with the tide
By a celestial guide
There is rhythm in each motion
A count, a lullaby
A beat to build on
Set tempo to
The foundation of a song
Hoo Hoo
Even the birds sing to
Miles from the shore
A melody carried in the wind
The rushing roar of the ocean
Never really ending
But ebbing and flowing
Rising and falling
The cycle of precipitation
Caught in the atmosphere
A silly little bird
Having fun as the clouds draw near
Finding cover in that which is rooted
To the ground
But still reaches out
To the same sun and moon
Replenished by the same rain
Falling down
Coming from some far off coast
Having nothing better to do
Than dance along with the music
Nature's sounds
Taking lead as the Earth continues
to make its rounds
