Progeny
The mother and child filled with presence and grace
their frosted plumage smooth like the finest lace
with razor sharp talons and sharp piercing eyes
most majestic forms and with such poignant cries
Athene noctua is the inner light
a magic power that banishes the night
her shadow is censured in the amber glow
phylactery of the gods against the crow
Snow white guardian of the acropolis
who dares to tread across the necropolis
countenance graces and does so without pride
golden haired queen permeates the other side
The wisest of the wise sits upon her throne
keeper of what is forgotten, what is known
it is written in books and kept on pages
from the beginning and on through the ages

I want the book of poetry you've been reading. You surely have one published of your own.

Thanks very much for the add to your RL. No, I don’t have a book published. I do have some children’s poems published is all. 😊
