Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Uncertainty
The future arrives just as water
Rushes through the fingers of time
While I’m sitting on the edge of my life
Watching and waiting
Searching for some little sign,
Hoping and praying
That I’ll ride these waves, emerge unscathed
Cherishing this life I am given.
Or will I simply vanish in a misty haze of uncertainty?

The line I chose to use of Kerry’s is: ‘The future arrives just as water’

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: This was a dream I had last night. Owls are everywhere lately.

#Shadorma: Pray
Grant my heart
Tranquil peace oh Lord!
That I may
Be amazed
As I tremble with healing
Light, blessed by your hands.

Only Us
Can we pretend it didn’t happen
this slow erosion of our cherished love?
Can we suspend the chilling moment
when two hearts no longer beat in tune?
–Imagine, it’s only us for one minute–
With the radiant stars in our eyes,
when our breath breathes life into each other
Familiar arms embrace, as tender pulses race
having found that brilliant flash of desire once again

# Tanka: Cold Moon Sky
whoosh of mighty wings
Great Horned owl in cold moon sky
watching over me
a sign, a message of strength
winds of change whirling, swirling
©2021 Linda Lee Lyberg
Author’s Note: On an evening walk last night, we encountered a Great Horned owl. It was an incredible experience.
