Beyond What We Can See by Karen A. VandenBos

Erik Karits

Beyond What We Can See 

There are wonders at work beyond what we

can see. In stillness are the answers and in

the realms of the marsh, magic is tangled 

in the reeds and the hooves of water horses

create the waves of change. In the web of 

spiders are the spinning wheels of time and 

twisted threads of our past. Hope clings to

the branches of trees as the wind changes

direction. As the moon calls us to our dreams

it is the owl who holds the lightning in her

talons and opens the cracks in the dark.
