A lone owl takes wing Upon the silken night Cunning eyes watching Chaos bleed below. Sinister the feeling Ravaging my soul The sting of bitter cold Streaming into me. I am so alone Eyes are midnight mirrors Reflecting what I'll never be Regrets seep within As I crumble to dust. Bitterness is tangible Though sprinkled sweet A melancholy blossom Of breakable hopes. I hear your thoughts A darkened swan's song Gently taken back As sighs caress My hidden pain. I can feel you now The fruit of my being Quietly refreshed As whispers waft Within my fantasies. If only I could touch you To revive the spirit And regain All that I've lost. Oh, forgive me love I am not who I was Only an empty shell Of what I used to be I am not worthy of you. And yet you watch me And soar within the sky Upon a lone owl's wing Like a savage angel. I do not deserve you And yet you are here Sending your love Upon threaded moonbeams. I am not ever alone now. *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |

Lovely. Today must be the day I think of memories I haven't thought about in such a while because of all the beautiful poems. Very, truly, deeply beautiful. ~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

This is beautiful! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Thank you all very much! And hoot, that's a great pic, I love it! *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |

Krista, you can't be as young as you are and write like this. You're really a 50 year old midget, right? Terrific poem. |

Just beautiful Krista. I enjoyd every descriptive word!!! Jenny Lee Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual. |

Thank you all very much! 'Deer- LOL, a 50 year old miget, eh? Well, I do believe this 5'10" girl has never been called that before. *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |
