Repose - After Ed Roberson's "The Counsel of Birds"

Consider the night owl
bird or man, whichever you like
that spends it's waking time in nocturnal hours
Life's little sanctuary

Bleak expanse broken
Electric view and hues
used by the waking
Tools to make it our own

Solitude is safety
and cherish it as such
Consider the night owl
Did it choose this for itself?

Give pause, thought
momentary sapience (of which all need)
the answer may be a surprise
Avian fells need not fly together
