35Great Hornedby Charles DaughadayA summer’s evening, across a field fence, sun’s rays warmFiltering through the trees on the back, almost dusk now,And bent slightly to dodge under a low hanging branch,When suddenly, without sound, an eerie up rush of warm air,And in a blink ahead only inches above, wingspan spread to full,Seamlessly glides the Great Horned Owl, as a knife through water.The breath rushes out in a swooshing, almost pant, a gasp of surpriseAs the plane of the great bird reaches the open field,And rises, rising and risen as a great god toward the blue heavens.
