Owl In The Snow
A Birds Eye View
From a birds eye view
Life is funny
Yet so strange
As I sit in a tree and watch,
those around me play
I have grown old in my day
As I smile and watch the others laugh and play
LIfe is funny
Yet so strange
I wish I could tell others what lessons to learn
What games not to play
As I sit on a cold branch
In mid winters day
The frost on the trees, the nip in the air
Reminds me that I am alive and God is near
From a birds eye view
Life is so funny
Yet so strange
Amazed and bewildered
By Gods grace
I smile and remind myself that
I am not the only bird in this place
An owl, a pigeon, a blue jay
Doesn't matter what the breed
Just that we are all together
On a spinning planet of greed
From a birds eye view
Life is so funny
Yet so strange
I have grown old in my day
How do I tell the others
That time is to be cherished and not waisted away
It is easy to take for granted
Those things that are planted
From a a seed
After all it is survival we seek
From a birds eye view
Life is so funny
Yet so strange
Its all about not giving up
And staying in the game

Thank you whonunwho for your kind words.
The owls are amazing birds I agree. They are not only wise but intuitive as well.Infact, I have read , that we each have an animal spirit guide. And if this is to be true, I would have to say that the owl would be my guide in this way.

Thank you Jeff:) Yes, it is easy to take life for granted until one has walked a million miles to learn that life is precious. The white owl is one of my favorite animals/bird that I admire.
Owls are my favorite wild bird. The native people revered the owl and regarded it as a holy creature and teller of the future. The owl has been seen even in Egyptian times on walls. Of all the birds, owls seem to be the most intelligent. They are the essence of the wild and beautiful. Thank you for your nice work and well received.
Yes, we must cherish everything God gives us. Beautiful pictures as well Lisa.
