From Denny: Do you ever wake a couple of hours before dawn, deep in thought, only to hear the sounds of Nature speaking to you just outside your window? Do you ever stop and concentrate upon the messages speaking all around you? This poem is one of those times...
the owl speaks
awakening to the dark hours
of the cold autumn morn
listening
to my deep thoughts
leftovers
of the dark night
patiently
waited with me
an owl spoke solo
commanding
the travel of my thoughts
wiped the sleep off my face
stretched, sat up in bed
walked to the window
peered out to see him
perched high against the sky
sitting in the barren winter tree
spoke the shadowed big owl
his song lit a candle in my mind
assuring blessings were mine
"watch for your blessings," he sang
"keep a close eye to see"
the owl sang on until the sun rose
his song trailed off and faded
falling asleep again
dreaming with a smile
warm rosy dawn
peeking warm light
through my new window
awakening again to a new day
the soft rain dripped from heaven
the sun shone brightly on my rainbow
