Of owls and angels

May your heart be filled with bliss

 Even in the ordinary

And with the fire

Nothing can be ordinary again

Smiling at your words

A smile that ripples like waves of magic through me

A connection so strong and alive

Even over these miles

I feel you closer than any around me here

Yes, words of owls and angels

Of God and higher things

Deeper things

More beautiful than a mind can imagine

Just moments ago I opened a book

Filled with ancient poetry and literature

And here is what I read:

“O most noble greenness

You who take root in the sun

And who shine in radiant tranquility on the wheel

Whom no earthly excellence surpasses

You are enfolded in the embraces of divine mysteries

You glow like the dawn and burn like the flame of the sun”

How you come alive so deeply in the everything now

And I love to see you shine... 

Author's Note

The quote in the book was from “O Nobilissima Viriditas” by Hildgard of Bingen…

I so deeply appreciate your insights and enlightenment. I walked through too many years of depression, so trying to find things now that help me stay soaring, and poetry is made of wings.

A prayer, a ballad, a loving reverie. Gentle, graceful, ethereal words and images..."words of owls and angels"-" of God and higher things"...the wise and the spiritual..the deeper love- "the fire"- that changes everything and goes beyond time and place so that "nothing can be ordinary again". Master Class work. Kudos!

I am always in awe of how yours eyes know just which path to watch and how your mind sees it through in these adventures I wander upon here in this precious wonderland sanctuary.

Ah, thank you dear Queenie. Sometimes when my eyes grow weary they find passageways to other worlds. Glad you don't mind me sharing them. :)

You spread light and love all around, owl. As always, your words and the emotions contained therein are truly lovely. Most if not all reviewers will discover relevant phrases.. and think them precious.. for me, '.. .. f'illed with bliss ~ Even in the ordinary ~ And with the fire ~ Nothing can be ordinary again.. ..

Thank you so much for reading the lines, and the hidden spaces within the lines as well, dear Yumna. Sometimes when words fail this is when prayers come alive to speak. May you find beauty and light around you whenever you need it, and always a place for dancing. :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You're welcome. And I wish the same for you :)

[An owl on the moon]

I promise to dance like a madman as soon as my foot heals. :D

[barleygirl]

WOW! WOW! And WOW! This is very powerfully written! I love it! There are only a few times in life when we get blessed by such a connection as you beautifully describe here. Many imaginative ways to SHOW instead of tell.

[An owl on the moon]

Ah, thank you precious friend! May your life be filled with sacred, sweet connections.
