Night's Master
by Doug Kosik
As silent as snow on a moonlit night
The hunting owl begins its flight
Only a shadow on moonlit snow
A silent terror to prey below
Talons sharp, keen eyes bright
The owl sees all that moves in the night
Talons flick, wings flutter
The mouse is caught without a mutter
Just an insubstantial bite
For the silent master of the night
