Ancestral winds begin to blow listen close~ you will know, learn the legends of the past born of life~ bred to last. White wolf howls in the night nature dances~ into dawns light. Waters running clear and pure wounds to heal~ only time can cure. Battles fought and never won a proud history~ will never be undone. Sit in silence as the elders speak we watched~ a nation growing weak. The spirits walk with you and I a warrior dead~ a woman cries. Wild and free the eagle soars, in the distance~ white man thunder roars. A heritage standing proud and tall, feel the presence~ hear the call. A journey made into destiny and our eyes~ do they now see? On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. ~Me~ [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (edited 04-18-2001).] |

Sunshine has said beautifully what I was thinking about this piece you've shared, Gentle Spirit. It's wonderfully woven and gently said. |

GentleSpirit~ When the spirit moves ~ she does so, gently~ This seems as though it flowed effortlessly from within you~ That is a gift to treasure and to share. Quite spiritually Lovely. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Suthern, perhaps the winds did blow a bit today, or else my muse finally came to visit again. lol. Either way, thank you for such lovely comments.  Rosebud, feeling the peace within is what it's all about. I was blessed to be able to put the feeling into words. Thank you. *s* Ah Sven, may those winds blow for us all.......always. Thank you dear gentleman for leaving your kind thoughts. Thank you snowpants. I was trying to create a certain type of feeling with this. I am glad you enjoyed it. Oh Marge, believe me it wasn't effortless. A few words came to me on my way to work this a.m. and I couldn't wait for the drive to be over so I could put some thought into it. I wanted to share a feeling I so often have about such an incredible people. Perhaps it is just in the knowing that we are all truly one in spirit in so many ways. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, I am always so timid about writing in this form or on this subject. Hugs. *s* On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |
