Darkness of Night

Inviting death in the darkness
by the known and unknown

I was there in spirit
I drift through the wood

I hear the sound
the call of the owl

In the silence of night
The flutter of winged demons
in flight - swoop silently

Their shadow unseen
by the innocent below

Too late - the deed is done
Until night falls
again

Darkness of night

This poem is dedicated to another poet name of Owl Hollow who can be found on Poets.com. Owl Hollow is Australian but loves nature. Owl Hollow has written a poem called Night Owl. As I read her beautiful poem this vision above unfolded to me. I just had to write it down. Such a vision I still see and hope to trasfer it on to canvas. My tribute to my dear friend Owl Hollow.

Darkness of night

Hi Richard my new buddy I have drawn pictures of eagles wolves animals in the zoo domestic too. I draw buildings of the capital and landmarks and of course portraits. I started pastels this year and like this medium in which i have done some portraits and animals etc. But the pictures i speak of are yet to be done as i have not used paint yet. I feel these need to be painted but i may use my pastel pencils for a ruff sketch But the pictures i cunjure up in my head as the paper waits. I have several galleries asking me to submit work WOW They have seen my work during upen studios and they have invited me to submit work. Not anyone can ask to do this. They ask you. I am honoured as i am not a trained artist i just do what comes. I recently drawn the Red Tail Hawk. Tell me which breed you care for and in what way you want to see them - flying soring hunting etc. I did a study in eagles in as much i drew one on my paper there there was a lot of space to i just put in trees and a few more eagles in different positions etc. Richard When you recall the title of your poem let me know so i can read and see what picture it sets before me. I love to paint pictures with my words. enjoy my friend electricblue
