I will come to you in the form of an owl.

My wings will make no sound as I arrive.

Watch carefully for a shadow in the trees.

Be ready.

I will not call or wait for you long.

We don’t want to scare the others, do we?

You are the one who’s summoned me here.

Too late to change your mind now. 

Just follow me into the woods,

the unknown, unlit world of old.

There is no path you should stick to, just walk.

If you think you have lost me, never fear.

I will not lose you, wherever you stray.

You are mine now, and this is your home.
