in Poetry Tags: A Sighting, back into our lives, bless me, chest high reeds, Connie Wanek, creeped out, dropped suddenly, falling, feet sinking, forcing himself, must have just eaten, no pleasure, owl, owl fled, pine to pine, stroke hard, the swamp, vanished, wings caught him

creeped out
A Sighting
by Connie Wanek
The gray owl had seen us and had fled
but not far. We followed noiselessly,
driving him from pine to pine:
I will not let thee go except thou bless me.
He flew as though it gave him no pleasure,
forcing himself from the bough,
falling until his wings caught him:
they had to stroke hard, like heavy oars.
He must have just eaten
something that had, itself, just eaten.
Finally he crossed the swamp and vanished
as into a new day, hours before us,
and we stood near the chest-high reeds,
our feet sinking, and felt
we’d been dropped suddenly from midair
back into our lives.

For one, the only remaining piece left was his ID label.
I have been ordered by the UN to remain here for 4 more months because of the pandemic.
My 11 year old son needs me.I am all he has.
More than anything, after 20 years in the US Army, I want to be with my family, safe.
My faith tells me I am not alone with the hatred.
I believe in The power of God’s Spirit to protect me and you.
Please pray for me.
Know and support me emotionally, please.
