 There, in the old memories, cool gray mists surrounded childhood, stealing in at dusk, clouding the skies of midnight starlight, the ocean but a crow’s flight away…  Here, in the new steps, cool gray fingers surround memories, stealing in at twilight, chilling my cheeks to an old rose, as I nourish hungry streams with this out pouring of soul. ~*~ While the raven eyes me, knowingly, the red-tailed hawk takes flight. |

Sissie....As you know, birds have special meaning for me. It would seem they are moving into your life too, with their eager intelligence. |

Sunshine, like a shroud pulled around old thoughts to seal them off, this poem pulls at new beginnings after the dusks and twilights in vision and dreams. The Raven is a cynic, but the Red-tailed Hawk must take a higher point of view. This is written, not just as memory, but like afterthoughts, "chilling my cheeks to an old rose". Exquisite! ~ Karen ~ |

A Redtail came gliding through my backyard the other day. Without flapping a wing it sailed by me like a jet and caught something, a chipmonk I think. I watched in awe as this beautiful bird began to feed less than a 100 ft from me. Kinda like I am when I drink from a spring such as this. |
