From the night,
a creature came
forth from black
and the deepest
of shadows
delicate being,
of tremendous
presence
he called our name,
and we answered
forever,
into the future
a vision was
painted
he'd be joining us
in life's unfolding
journey
though his time cut short,
an unexpected vacancy
filled the once happy
dream
An owl named Wisdom,
he left us with a mystery:
why must the magic
disappear?

Left with nothing but a duty to honor,
this impact you've had,
in such a short time
a new member
of the Spirit,
and difficult lessons
to unravel
Leave it to an owl like you,
to leave us with this,
a devastating void
with no clear understanding
perhaps one day,
we will see
and come to reveal
the solution to
your complex
lesson
Until then,
we live on in the confusion of life,
and ponder in the moonlight
why the good must leave
with each gentle "hoo"
we now recall,
your golden eyes
and the puzzle
you've left
