BOND OF BUTTERFLY-OCEAN STEEL
4 November 2011

Forest owl woman
scans dark sky for her lover,
sees him, softly smiles.

Roaming the skies seems to bring comfort always ...

Wonderfully expressed.

Reminds me of a first nation woman expressing her feelings..
It confirms my feelings that woman all over the world, that are in touch with their natural connectedness, are all the same, and that imitation boundries do not seperate them...

Only a Forest owl woman  can write like this, and yet, are not all women forest owls in one way or another?

I know I ramble, please excuse that..but

Something touched me deeply when I read these simple three lines.

Yes, Margherita.  You are so right.  Thank you.

I hear you, Ford, though I am not sure at all that every woman is in touch with her natural connectedness – or indeed, only women – I think that there are possibly as many men who do too - you, for example.  No, I don’t excuse your rambling.  I welcome it.  Thank you for understanding my poem so well and relating to it.

Ford, I see I misread what you said.  I read it as all women - but you said "the" women that . . .

Yes, I am sure you are right.

I like the primal feel to this, and the aroma of the forest at night is ripe with
expression

Thank you, EmmaRose.  It actually wasn't at night, but thanks anyway.
