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...

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

[Tamara Beryl Latham]

Wow! Your words are impressive and capture both beauty and serenity. Thank you for an enjoyable read and the quote you've included from "O Nobilissima Viriditas” by Hildegard of Bingen.

Nicely written. :-)

And here I thought you were fantasizing about me... I am bereft.
If it's the beard you object to, it goes!
If it's the joint, f**k you, man. Some things are forever.

I really like your poem, though. One question:are you speaking of the Wheel of fortune, from the Tarot, or the Wheel of Life? Just curious.

[An owl on the moon]

Haha! Glad to know that some things really are forever. And thank you for passing this way again. As to your question, I believed it to be the Wheel of Life, but must find Hildgard to seek her intentions on that particular phrase. :)

Such beauty and tranquility we find when we dare tread places only angels know- where we become one with all and there’s no boundaries to reach other times and places and connect in ways that aren’t explainable- love every word you have written- noble greeness🌹

[An owl on the moon]

I so appreciate your kind words, your lifting thoughts. May you always find that place of limitlessness.

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Thankyou for your loving kindness and gentleness - I love the owls I hand reared one myself but sadly he died- so precious they are 🌹

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

It’s my pleasure anytime I’m here 🌹

Thank you for your constant encouragement. You know me so well my friend. Yes, there are deep, immortal connections that awaken poetry in us. Of this I am truly grateful or my voice would be silence.

I like how beautifully you have incorporated the quote within the poem...This is just so positive and uplifting, i can't help but feel electrified by the strong connection that you talk of, the connection that we share with fellow humans, and also with God and higher things...
