On the wings of a silvery owl

"sometimes we need help to find our dreams again"

on the wings of a silvery owl your longing visited me

far from the maddening crowd where I tried to escape

the winter of my soul

your probing affection bribed the wind

with a pocket full of storms

to reveal my nondescript location

at the end of broken fenced dreams

you found me where I hid

in the barn where we

made the hay smile

so many grinning moons ago

help me to remember

our magical spells of love

and I promise to lie down with you

in the green paddock

until tomorrow’s dew wakes us up

embraced by the morning star.

I really like the evocation of the symbol of wisdom, wit and patience in this gorgeous poem.
It took me in a heartfelt journey full of struggles to resist the marred memories and suffocated fire or whisper all back to life. The desire is there, the want and longing too, and willingness to do so. Will the speaker do it? Or will it be just another dream?
Truly enchanting!!
loved it!!

oh.. and the picture is perfectly magical!

First I'd like to thank you for the review you gave me, that and the two of the poems you wrote (symphony and this one) entail that you've mastered your craft, you have a beautiful mind. I enjoy your writing!!

Oh no, no master this side....:D......though thank you for your kind comments. I do teach a weekly poetry class though, but I think I learn more than my students....:D

I hope you review as many of my poems/stories as possible, I could and am willing to learn a lot from you...

so true, SV...while we do make our own choices in how we deal with life, it sometimes takes another to lift us up and help us fly again....if only to remind us that we've always been capable of doing it...great imagery and love your use of figurative language...
