I don't profess to understand The deepest mysteries flashing Nor the theories of the man That wrote Starry Passing Nor see through half shell eyes Of a common being Blind shell covered eyes Ever peering- never seeing. A firebird must rise Above thought and theory To soar above earth's starry skies Where Light is not blurry... I will leave you as any tree That winds of time shall bow Down through the century By common hand or plough The whispering wind in time Shall whisper in the strong oak tree In warm whispery rhyme Stirring up debree Among the rustling leaves... The tree will come undone Beneath the soft breeze Through each golden tongue Calling, gently calling Falling, gently falling... With no ability for speech The tongueless tree will reach His naked limbs -the oak For the owl that spoke From her nest deep in his heart According to the art Of love and life and song But find that she has flown...

Beautiful, haunting and resonant. Timeless tale of free spirit/ well grounded dichotomy. Connect all the spiritual centers of the body (chakras) and we have the best of all worlds within us.
Very well written.
Yours,

Judy,

I have never commented on one of your poems or read any, this is my first but will definitely not be my last. I found everything about the poem just so perfect and found myself asking me, " now why can't I write like that?" From opening line to the very end you dazzled me with every word. Thank You for making my day.

Linda and Joyce took the words right out of my mouth, my heart. You are growing rapidly and in a way that pleases The Light, giving meaning to you life, becoming a source of wisdom for those capable of understanding the feelings and thoughts you express. This is a magnificent poem in many respects. I enjoyed being on this page to read. Take care, precious soul,

A nice poem and one that expresses well the expansion beyond the mystical and the knowledge that one does not know all and yet finds ways to express unto others through displays of thought penned through expressions of poetry and ...life...

nice work.....Art Sun...

Judy, I am honored to be the first to comment on Firebird. This is one of your best works, I could relate to this poem from the first line. You are growing and understanding more each day it seems. You are learning compassion and not being afraid to show it, that is something new for you. I have always saw good in you, a shy little child that was afraid of never being good enough, but always good enough and very worthy. I see your talent grow, and I am so, so very proud of you. I really admire your works. I think i also am one of the few people that see the "real" Judy. The scales are coming off your eyes and you are seeing more realistic as you grow. Keep up the good work.
