Spirit of The Owl Winter's glen gray dawn skies no sun up in early morn heaven sighs down the lane tree lined but bare mysteries unfold you didn't know were there snow and ice crunch underfoot walking quiet is impossible trip on root hidden in the deepest recesses of here and then sleeps the spirit of the Owl, answering 'who' at when a discord settles within to break his sleep and from the recesses of his darkness deep the spirit comes, and the Owl then keeps the secret of all time, held in feathered wing and in the most silenced of plume, sweeps off no effort in movement, feathers outstretched through naked limbs, through the breech no sound, no blare, in feathered wing silence overall, no hint of gray ghost on high was it just a vision, or a spirit in the sky silently it sat, as quietly was swept away spirits come to the land in the early morn while the eve still sleeps, before day is born snow and ice crunch underfoot walking quiet is impossible trip on root down the lane tree lined but bare mysteries unfold you didn't know were there winter's glen gray dawn skies no sun up in early morn heaven sighs ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 11 September 2000 |

I don't remember ever seeing this one my friend (and I believe I was around back then), but like all of yours I have seen I love it. You're a pleasure to read. j. |

Absolute great poetry. I'll be hearing snow crunching underfoot for the rest of the night. Love that sound anyway. Sunshine, you have brought visions of ghosts and feathered wing to life in this astonishing piece of writing. ~ At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. We are in a new phase of a very old war. ~ |

You have to love this. If you don't, then you lack appreciation of fine poetry. BRAVO Sunshine! Namaste, Marcia |

To all who replied, thank you, blessed poets. To OWL...I miss our conversations - I've learned much from you; I miss you. You're very welcome and I am pleased that you had a moment on line to smile. K |
