The Explorer
the owl prepares for the midnight flight
his strong wings take him through the frigid air
until the appearance of morning light
his large glowing eyes are ever aware
eyes that can spy anything that’s below
in the midst of the trees he sees a house
through the window the firelight’s aglow
there’s a hole in the wall fit for a mouse
through the moonlit landscape the wind howls
on the forest floor there is a feather
inside a cave an animal growls
as he flies through the cold winter weather
every night and year after year he soars
he’s ever exploring the great outdoors
