Barned Owls of the Rocky Mountains

Fountains of Blessings appear in November...

When the Wind ruffles my Feathers... 

I settle on a Branch of an aging Sycamore... 

I dream of ripe berries and my Friend  Chickadee... 

remembering the long nights spent when 

the Moon became a Light that brought 

Eternity into our Life of orchestrated 

Autumn Rhapsodies...

This brought happy memories to me of during lockdown, a family of snow owls moved into our nearby woods and they were such a majestic sight if you were lucky enough to catch them in flight, which was always unlucky for their prey.
Sadly the entire family were found dead at the base of a tree, all victim to Avian flu. They are still missed here.
Hope you and yours are well too.

dearest Lorry... the Spirit of the Feathered Owls will always be kept alive in our Heart and Soul, We are thankful for the Healing of Autumn's blessings. We welcome the giving Spirit of Thanksgiving as Children dance and sing in golden and magenta leaves of yesterday. Be Brave and enjoy the Symphonies of a Mosaic Sky. gently, Pat

A very beautifully penned poem, dear Patricia. I love the thoughts the Owl has as he sits on a very old and wise Sycamore Tree. I also love your excellent choice of graphic and I love your amazing poem also. I love Owls and have since I was a very small child. When I eventually saw them at a Wild Life Sanctuary, I fell in love with them. I am so happy to say that I have a very beautiful Owl as one of my Animal Spirit Guides. Sending very best wishes, with Light and Love and Hugs, dear Pat...

Your words are a beautifully poetic reflection of nature's cycles...ruffling feathers and dreaming of ripe berries...There is beauty found in moments of quiet reflection. Lovely and heartfelt Pat :) Julie

a beautiful poem, and a beautiful ode to a friendship. maybe not everyone, but i certainly have one friend very dear to my heart. we spent nights under a moon that brought eternity in our lives.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Ern... once you know Eternity when experiencing Love... the days and nights become a Beacon that guides your Life. Lovely to know you enjoyed the poem. softly, Pat

This is a painting in words, Pat, I read it first, losed my eyelids and saw what you've seen and are now sharing. Then I sat back, calmly, happily for the first time in a few hours or more. Your eyes and mind miss very little in the 'all around' and you share that via your poetry. Many thanks my darling friend. My love as ever to you both. Keep warm and happy over the coming weekend, please. Hugs..

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Em... you are our Angel that keeps us warm and calm. Thank you for your kind review. Wishing you blue skies with soft rose clouds that color your heart that beats softly. gently, Pat

[emmajoygreen]

Such beautiful words, as always, dear lady.Thank you so very much. Wishing you and your darling have a good as possible weekend, darlin' (Pat and Roger)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Em... I have learned the Value of free verse from your poetry... We had lots of Rain and it is good for the Earth. Our decisions in Politics will help us to Compromise and rebuild a Country for the People. Our Health's important and I am amazed that people in powerful positions are moving in the direction of protecting the People more and more. Be blessed and healthy. gently, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Neville... wherever you go... you are never alone... the Spirit whistles in the Wind and loves your smile. softly, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Dear Pat, your beautiful poem reminded me of lockdown also. I remember seeing a film of a barn owl in flight. It was in slow motion and was magnificent. Your lines are visually stunning.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Chris... the Crescent of the silver Moon will always bring Harmony when Barn Owls fly in formation as reflected in the Moon. May your November Rendezvous be Blessings. softly, Pat

[Relic]

Excellent poem, Patricia. I like the capitalization, the rhythm that plays out, and the rhyming "EE: sound. I've never seen an owl, but I may have heard them in the woods near me years ago. :)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Relic... a pleasure to read your review. A few years ago... an Owl was sitting on the ledge of our Deck outside our Kitchen Window where we leave Seeds for the Birds. The Owl was Gorgeous and Calm... and appeared to be wearing dark rimmed Glasses as though a Wise Professor was resting in between flights. We are blessed to have so many feathered friends that depend on our Buffet of seed. Red Cardinals and black and white Chickadees, as well as Mourning Doves and even a Red headed Woodpecker on our large Maple Tree in the Front Yard to our Delight. softly, Pat

[Jeyanthi]

I spoted one during pandemic...

The write flows like
Written with magical quail..
Hope is the blessing and that blessings all we need which already surrounded us nature..
( you magical appear on of my insomnia day, and comment to count 270. I tried and in a mid way I forgot what happens next... I valued the beat of the rhythm of counts of numbers more now... well, if I thought about counting again, then I say "better I sleep 😅)...
Thank you.. dear 😇😀

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Jeyanthi... Nature is Magical ... I love that this poem seems to be written by the Feather of a Quails Quill. Some poets count Sheep in order to Sleep. Resting your Pen on Parchment is Wise. gently, Pat
