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 |

Very, very impressive, Sunrise.The way you put this together with the construction and the way the thoughts were linked together in such a fluid, flowing style is awesome.... |

Spirit gliding in greyish sky as in misted morn you awake Penned in talent through poets eye Your beauty she will not forsake Wisdom of life and soul of heart Watchful eyes of questioning grace Piercing darkness with pointed dart Resting peace of spirit upon this face Karilea-I have a fascination with owls and always have and this creation of yours is so magnificant and full of your vision and wisdom that one could not but fall in love with this marvelous piece. In my library for sure. [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 09-11-2000).] |

Karilea, This is TERRIFIC writing, my friend... The pen that you hold holds your spirit with it... it is not ink that flows but fluid flowing thoughts... and it is not ink bubbles that lends air, but the breath of a poetess with flair... My regards O Amazing poetess, Sudhir. |

Sunshine, your attention to details of peacefulness make this poem art. This is lovely. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

So beautiful. The images settled upon me as I read. I also really liked how you wrote the poem. It flowed beautifully and was a joy to read out loud to myself. Maybe time for a repost? xoxox A |
