Upon a night one as this i sat and wrote a poem of bliss
I saw a bird he landed close and said to me who are you for
i said nay bird go away he flew afar up and flaying the night sky.

Another night he did return and brought to me a torn paper upon wrote said
I am savior of course i said bird go away leave me be my poems await
he then flew off again in flight peeling off the skin of night.

But weeks did pass like does a second i found myself second guessing
my condescension to the bird but then again he did return
he said to me i come with love take me in for im a dove
i said oh bird just let me be my dreary poems await for me .

and as of time it did pass but then again once alas he did return but as of now he was sparrow strong and stout i said to him fly away i have need of no sparrow go away he then again flew a flight peering off to the moonlight.

Years did pass and i grew old children came grew up left home my wife she passed leaving me true and now i feel so lonesome too but then again the bird returned but just like me he aged in turn a owl now he was this time.

I said oh Wise owl have you come to stay he said if you wish we can fly away i took hold of his wings he spread them far we flew of like speeds of moving cars.

I saw cars buildings and sky scrapers airplane jets and clouds of vapor he headed for the moon and went even higher we reached top and the stars grew brighter he said now watch as go far we picked up speed and went even farther.

At this point i could see the earth and the all stars and the planets i said to the bird shall i drift off back he said to me yes.

We flew swiftly through the night back to my chambers he let me off i said come in and take a seat and so he did and we both did eat.

Night had passed and the sun was on the rise i went to my bed and opened my eyes.
