Rude Awakening
God wakes me
deep in the night when owls are prowling
and nocturnal creatures rouse from sleep.
He wakes me to save her.
I call the night humans
who corral her to safety.
They tell her she is not the owl
not one to roam the night.
"time to sleep dear"
They do not tell her the truth...
that soon she will fly with the owl
and never again touch earth.
