There's an owl

There's an owl outside my window. He calls quietly to my ears. The rest of the house is silent, no one sees my tears. You're gone from my womb but my heart carries you heavy. The end of another day, soon to turn to many. There's an owl outside my window. The night has turned to cold. Fear of dreams turn me from sleep- for in my thoughts I yearn to hold. There's an owl outside my window, calling out into the night. His loneliness is a peace, where misery sits inside. There's an owl outside my window, his call carries me away. In sorrow I give to sleep while he keeps watch until the day. There's an owl outside my window, a guardian of lost dreams. His quiet call gives my mind silence, while holding my empty womb I reach peace.
