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 |

I'm reminded of "I Heard the Owl Call my Name" by Margaret Craven. It tells the story of a humble Anglican priest who is dying of cancer. He lives among an indian tribe of the Pacific Northwest. Well done! KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Karelia, ...As only you could portray the beauty of these elusive creatures. You and I are both truly learning what can be hidden where least expected, sometimes the best surprises are those we never expected. Thank you for this and for being the ear that hears this owl's voice. Hugs |
