Within the Giving Great Living Takes Place

Important Role to Play

The Owl comes in the night

In spite of your fears, in spite of you

We the Owls of the Land want you to understand, we have an important role to play

 

Decay

We in many ways live among decay

For we seek out hollow spaces

And within those hollow spaces, we make spaces, as in a home

In some ways it’s like living in a dome, for we hear sounds within, and we hear sounds without

And the sounds within we are here to say, are sounds that are all about decay, break down

 

Listen Intently

Now there are also sounds outside of us, outside of our domicile

And those are the sounds we listen to intently

For they are the sounds of our next meal

For in our zeal to listen intently we are often rewarded

 

Blend In

Now we the Owls of the Land want you to understand, we blend in so to speak

And many of you humans that are trying to peak into our area of habitat, often miss us

For our coloration blends in on purpose

For yes you guess it, it, is our disguise

 

Wisdom

Now many of you look at our eyes and see wisdom and see fear

We the Owls of the Land want you to understand there is no need to fear us

Just because we are Birds of the Night, is no reason for you to take flight, in a state of fright not at all

Recognize

Most of you associate us with the call of Whoo

But we are here to tell you, there are many other calls we use

And in that way once again, many of you do not recognize us, from our Call

If you want to meet upon the street, keep in mind we won’t be there

 

Lesser Than

We share our domicile with other beings

Some of you may refer to these other beings as lesser than

They are not in case you forgot

For without them we would all be in trouble

For they help in the process of breakdown, they help in the process of compost

Yes, my dears, we the Owls of the Land, want to make it perfectly clear, everyone on the face of the Earth has a role to play

Some of you may say their role is lesser than mine

 

Partners on the Land

We the Owls of the Land are more inclined to say, their role is different upon this day

But we need them as Partners on the Land

And therefore, we want you to understand, everyone’s role in life is different, but necessary

For each role that each person carries, is part of their Path in Life

 

You Were You

Now some people live their life through their work

We the Owls of the Land want you to understand, the work you do, is only one role you play

And upon this day and the next, we want you to stop being perplexed, for the work you have, does not make You, You

For we the Owls of the Land, want you to understand, you were you, long before your work, you were you, long before you chose to reside where you chose to reside, you were you long before you were educated, you were you long before you chose to show up on this shore

Set of Codes

You came with a certain Stamp, you came with a certain Set of Codes

But my dears, we the Owls of the Land, want you to understand, that stamp and those codes that you came from, have room for growth

Therefore, my dears let’s be clear, don’t blame your codes, don’t blame your stamp, for who you have become

For my dears we the Owls of the Land, are here to say to you, you can become more than, your stamp and your code and your experience, be you

Release the You, you know you are

For we the Owls of the Land want you to understand, you each have so much potential

No matter what people say, no matter what your family says, believe it, live it, make it true

For it is you

 

Diamond in the Rough

Now some of you hide in the background, and some of you stand up on stage and say look at me

We the Owls of the Land want you to understand, you each are like a diamond in the rough

You have so many facets, sometimes you don’t even recognize them as such

My dears, we the Owls want to make it perfectly clear, in many cases there is more to you, than you realize

Therefore, my dears we are here to say to you, don’t cut yourself off, don’t sell yourself short

 

Cohorts

For there are many cohorts like you

You have not met them yet, but they are there

Share the specialness of you

Because there is no one just like you

Be you, be proud of you

Listen to your own inner voice, be your own champion

And send out to Love to who, YOU

For my dears, we the Owls of the Land want you to understand, you have so much to give

But for in order for you to give, you have to recognize something, you have to recognize You

For you are with you, for your lifetime and beyond

 

Meaning

Ripples, ripples, across the sand

We the Owls of the Land want you to understand, we hear those ripples, we know their meaning

We wait we pause, and then we take flight

We carefully flap our wings

And then when something is moving that is in our sight

We pounce, we grab, we lift off with our prize

And there are times to our surprise we have missed our catch

 

Our Survival

But we the Owls of the Land, we want you to understand, we are a patient lot and we’ll try again

And again

At no time is the time to give up

For our survival is in the wings

Our survival is in our prey

There are certain days, our prey, decide to display themselves to us

This form of sacrifice allows us to carry on

And on

We believe in balance, we believe in equilibrium

 

Our Fill

Therefore, my dears, we the Owls of the Land want you to understand, we don’t eat beyond our fill

Because we want to leave something behind for another

For we have discovered share and share alike

Is like a Light that goes off, like a Light that goes on

For other species need to step up to the plate

For if we as a species are to relate to others, we need to see them like us, and we also need to see them as a Plus, to all species of the world

For each of us has a role to play

And we are here to say, we see You for who You are

And that’s just it, who You are

 

Be Thee

Come out of the shadows, be who you are

Star in your own show

You do not need to go below, you do not need to climb a tree

Just be thee

Celebrate your habitat no matter what it is

Take your dance out on the road and enhance it

Sing your Song of Life

Skip to a tune, play with a balloon

Allow that child within you, to live

 

Giving

And give to another, give to yourself

For it is within the giving, there is great living that takes place

Trace your face in the sand, and try to understand, what you see there

And once you see the Light of you, share it with another

And another

 

Respect

And many of you will discover something that you did not expect

Those you share it to, their eyes perk up, those you share it to, they deeply listen

And the respect for you runs deep

Now we the Owls of the Land, want you to understand, we have heaped much information upon you, but my dears we are here to say to you, this is information is for you to review

And if you choose to act on it, so much the better

As Birds of a Feather, we are here to say to you, we Love You, no matter what you do
