Come soar with me in my moon-balloon flying machine
over magical forests, gently crooning mountains
and islands planted within golden seas.
We shall stop at Wisest Woods
for I know you have questions,
as many children do.
Walk softly on Fiddlehead Fern Path
to the Tree of Life and Sanity.
Climb through its rustling verdant leaves.
Stand upon the highest left-fork branch.
Hum softly and she shall come,
the Elderness, Sagacious Owl.
Her talons sure footed on the tree,
her size, unimaginable to many,
her existence, known to but a few.
Open your journal
to yesterday’s dog-eared page.
Read to her your salient fears.
She shall listen, ponder,
provide wise counsel,
and then fly you back to us.
Under blue etched night skies
we shall rock you gently
until you awaken from your dreams.
Sharing this at dVerse Open Link Night……using two of Catrin Welz-Stein’s magical images from my Tuesday Poetics Prompt. Have been so busy reading posts to the prompt….and wanted to write to two more of her images.

Catrin has indeed created a magical world, Lill, and you’ve captured in in your poem. My favourite lines:
‘Open your journal
to yesterday’s dog-eared page.
Read to her your salient fears.’
I will.

A delightful poem, Lillian. I love this stanza:
She shall listen, ponder,
provide wise counsel,
and then fly you back to us.
I am very fond of owls.
