The Owl

By Sarbani Bhattacharjee


Nocturnal tyranny invades all
     Make it fearful as they call.
Day is the time to hide,
     In the tree or other broken side.

Unknown to the eyes of all
     Make it fearful as they call.
Auspicious amidst the dark,
     Vehicle of Lakshmi; promising luck.

The wings shine as they fly tall,
      Make it fearful as they call.
Not a beauty as the other birds,
     Yet an enchantress beyond words.
