Owl's Terse Reply

I maunder out most nights, converse with Owl,
to many eyes demure and self-contained;
still underneath my skin, there lies a scowl,
this less than perfect human I remain,
surrounded by uncertainties, cocksure,
mislaid through complications sometimes mine
(light-headed from strange yarns I've spun before,
true tales yet to unfold along the line)
and in the depths of slumber, I ascend
as if one's mortal soul could be redeemed,
Owl's terse reply more toothsome time portend;
from stormy chills, tomorrow's landscape green.

If only sympathetic heart would lend
its upside downs and all beats inbetween.
