He’s my biggest inspiration The source, it seems, of my creations As mystical as stars on high The wind that gives me strength to fly
He’s cascading waterfalls The mourning dove and sparrow’s calls The knight in all his gallantry The muse behind my poetry
He’s cool, crisp raindrops in July The comfort of a lullaby The soulful sound of mellow sax He’s Sunday mornings, so laid-back
He’s strong, but yet, he’s gentleness Unflinching grasp and soft caress A laugh, a tear, a quiet sigh The breath of life for which I’d die
My second wind when I need rest The weathered rock that’s stood the test He’s fire and ice, he’s bittersweet The crimson rose, the golden wheat
And in the stillness of the night He comes to draw me into flight To distant lands, to azure streams He comes to life, but in my dreams

Is he as wise and glorious an owl as you are?!?
Enjoy your flights in the night with your rare and wonderful Owl Man!

beautifully written my poetic friend...
You have once again more than proven you can top this old geezer in our "kick start our muse endeavors."
Twill be off line for a while as things are getting a bit hectic out here on the plains, but I expect to be reading some of your wonderful poetry when I check back in. Who knows, maybe I will even run into Mike and have him stop in.

what a spectacular dream--the perfect HE! Your poem trickled along beautifully. I didn't want it to end. I plan to keep this for a pretty thought. A pleasure to read. miscellanea
