It was a dark autumn night
The leaves had dried out
A silent wind blew in the cool breeze
The birds were sleeping in the warmth of their nest
A distant sound was sweeping in
An owl crept close to my window
It put its ear on the glass as if eavesdropping
Its dark eyes peered into my room
I opened the window
It didn’t move
I was surprised at its ignorance
It was looking past me into a distant blur on my computer
Tears seemed pouring from its expressive eyes
It suddenly flapped its winds and took off shrieking loudly
I turned back and looked at the blur which was now clear
My screen disappeared
A beautiful apparition was there in front of me
I gasped… Joy!!!
