Blue Indigo Owl
Mysterious blue indigo owl haunting my dreams
sharing manna from celestial heavens
perched on gilded steps of an elegant
ivory mansion, trimmed in gold
A tall woman, dressed in pure white staring
from a window on high, can it be Athena
goddess of wisdom and courage
sending an important message to me?
The gossamer veil lifts from my eyes
as she opens the majestic door
what was a dream, now clear and bright
for she radiates with goodness and warmth
A loaf of crusty bread in cradled arms
an offering to my searching soul
I take the bread of life full of wisdom,
grasping it in my delicate hands
Still warm from her oven’s sacred hearth
I hold it against my fragile beating heart
and in that breathless moment I know
this heart of mine is going to be all right.

Author’s Note: I had another encounter with my owl this morning. He flew so close to me I could feel the wind from his wings on my face! I decided to resurrect this poem from 2019, as it was when I was coming in contact with owls then too. Powerful messengers, owls.

I loved this the first time I read it, and still do … intriguing you’ve dreamt of this again ✨

Actually I did not dream of this again, but I had an actual encounter with an owl both yesterday and today. You can look for my post titled Great Horned Owl.

Linda- yes, as soon as I sent my message I realized I had incorrectly mentioned you dreaming of an owl again, versus your actual encounter … there are aspects of this poem that I’ve dreamt of before (I realized this when I first read it last year) and I have had encounters with owls too … and an interesting dream last night on passageways and light and illumination … your poem and message is so interesting and uplifting. Thank you so much for sharing… I look forward to reading Great Horned Owl 🧡
