Meadows with no clocks

Meadows with no clocks

A Poem by An owl on the moon
"

There are journeys that leave no footprints

"










































A heron hovering

flighting in sunlit skies

winged breath in angel visions

there are journeys with no footprints

feathered wings in life’s flight over meadows with no clocks

only the trafficked flitter of butterflies

only the roaring call of songbirds

how the soul seeks rest

songs of the Sabbath

no warring factions

feathering fractions

Sing me songs of the meadowed millpond mirrors

of melted anxieties drip dripping down

tell me what life should feel like

surely not this over-burdened fight

not this darkened screeching night

I want the feeling of lifting flight

soaring over worlded wonders

breathing cloud crystals

fly me over meadows with no clocks

time there rides on a heron’s wings…

I’m left with a want to rise above everything at ground level and fly away, far from life’s suffering, drama, war, gossip, etc. There’s a peace in flight and a silence that calms. You’ve captured that so well here. And, the artwork is perfectly paired with your poem.

shouldn't life feel free, like we just float through it...i imagine through this poem a world without clocks, but then that would be one before there were people on this earth...just water and land and nature...
but we as humans put constraints on everything...we ration, we time things...we even time time.
And nature is forgotten....we get too busy to enjoy what was here for so long without us.
this poem really moves me.

The image of "melted anxieties" reminds me partly of ice cream/Popsicles on a summer day, but also of that Salvador Dali piece of the melting clocks. Given this is part of your Wonderland collection, I think this is fitting. If I recall correctly, no time had passed from when Alice fell down the rabbit hole to when she re-emerged. This poem has a very peaceful tone, despite the references to violence and darkness. Please keep writing and adding to this collection!
