The Owl came to visit…
Sat high in the tree…
The harbinger of doom…
Of death and misery…
Presenting a warning…
That was hard to ignore…
And projected a vision…
Viewed sometime before…
Back in the day…
When it was needed…
Sounding an alarm…
That went unheeded…
In his darkest hours…
Lit up by witches…
Who cast their spells…
Sewing voodoo doll stiches…
And left their mark…
Whilst igniting his soul…
Setting his heart on fire…
As he lost all control…
But now it is back…
Looking down from above…
Delivering its message…
With a dark, strange love…
That has little context…
Yet laced with superstition…
As nature’s messenger…
Completes its mission…
Leaving him baffled…
And searching for clues…
To answer this riddle…
That’s designed to confuse…
Like the little Yellow ribbon…
That’s tied to the tree…
Fluttering in the wind…
For him to clearly see…
Back in the dark place…
He saw in his dream…
Where demons thrive…
Amidst silent screams…

Makes me want hear more….what is the dark place….
