In the daylight hours, I spend  my time
So high on a perch, in a lofty pine
Where I fluff and comb my pretty plumes
And wait for the rise of the silver moon

I bob and weave on the top of the tree
Watching my world, in dimensions of three
My golden eyes fixed, on the fallen leaves
As I wait  for the night, so patiently

At the set of sun, and the rise of moon
In the Croatan forest, near Camp Le Jeune 
With a piercing screech, I take to the sky
On the wind, with silent wings, I fly

Over forest and swamps, on a winter night
Dipping and swaying like a wind-blown kite
In search of a rabbit, a rat or a bat
Until I find one, there's no turning back

Over Emerald Isle,  and wind-swept dunes
I fly, so freely, neath a silver moon
For miles along the  Atlantic shore
Engrossed in the din of that oceans roar

I hear from a distance, the stir of a hare
And see her dining, on sea grasses there
Her nibbling nose, like a lure, to my eyes
As I, with the speed of lightning, fly

Then swooping straight down, without a sound
I wrap my talons, so tightly around 
The slow, soft beat, of a dying heart
As bits of fur, fly away in the dark

A Great Horned Owl, I'm  a bird of prey
With the wind at my back, I make my way
With the chill of winter, a melt on my breast
I return triumphantly to my nest.

***
One more lovely Owl in the family.
I am so excited to present her to you!

I offer only handful of these. Once they are gone,
I won't be able to take customs. Sorry.


Every tiniest bit has been made by hand.
I kept the size wearable
and easy to layer with other necklaces.


This one is sure a heirloom piece
that may be happily passed from mother

to daughter and granddaughter...

The necklace has been finished in soft matte patina.
Only the Moon, star and beak are shiny.


Focal measures 1.75"across.

Length of the chain can be adjusted to your needs.
Please allow 10 days to ship.

Love,
L.
