9:00 P.M. still and even, with only half of Luna's emergence, nightshadows are with me gravel crunches underfoot and the night is inert the countryside is still no disquiet, no wind for it has died down and glacial air nips my nose sudden sough of soft feathers and heavy weighted push off of cottonwood limb betrays owl, as he seeks flight, and in ascent unites in quiet greeting the souls that gather 'round those souls that silently watch and partake of the nightshadow under Luna's biased illumination I would hear their whispers in the owl's translation, and in his nightshadow, take wing…. < !signature--> Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 10-08-2000).] |

Sounds like my kind of night. Mind if I tuck this one in my pocket so it is close to my heart?? |

"I would hear their whispers in the owl's translation, and in his nightshadow, take wing…." Even if the other words were lacking even if they weren't poetic these 4 lines would stick with me and remind me I'm in the presense of a great poet. |

Bonnie, poetic license being what it is, isn't it wonderful to make up words? So glad you liked, thank you!... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
