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 |

Lovely visions of what we do not always see for neglecting to look further in the seemingly empty picture |

Hello dear friend I know it's been awhile but something called me back. Perhaps, I need to be around familiar faces and words. I've missed your poems. I always loved and enjoyed your words. And this one was just simply magical.-Kris |
