Night Hawk Calling Poem by Morinanna Wyzard

Can you hear the sound of the night hawk calling
he reminds me to catch
myself when I'm falling
Can you hear the hoot of the owl
his song fills the lonely night
teaching spirits to take flight
can you hear the sound of the tree frog croaking
he knows when I am choking
all the sounds of nature sing to me
reminding me there is no where to run
no where to hide
from the pain inside
never can I flee
when I am where I want to be
and still I am alone
I give my all
and this time in life
its returned to me
filling me with love
but there is still that little part in me
who I hide away on a lonely night
she is my tears,
my sadness and fears
locking her away in a place in my heart
she remains in waiting
for her time to call
sometimes without warning
she slips into sight
especially on those long lonely nights
surrounded by love
and still the shadow lurks above
