Old grammar phrase

My pencil carves new grooves in old stones.

Old stories have cherished history

as a treasure and the jewels

last more than one lifetime of a lifetime.

There has been one fairytale above all tales

and you try to look in dark of forests,

late at night, if you see a grey owl turn into

a white one because of her yellow eyes

which have a sight over moon, stars and planets.

Feathers may warm the white owl

until blue hearts have broken a sound in the light.
