Closing my eyes I stood in the center of
the gathering mist, where time knows no boundaries
only to awaken in another place of exist
where in awe, I marveled at
the clear running streams
with purple mountains above
and  fields of green

filled with the  most peaceful sounds
of harmony.

Such signs of life completely surround
this place held in time
where beauty abounds
and the crackle of fire,
slow burning of wood
scents the evening air
and night falls,
as it should
with only the stars
to light up the skies

Luna smiles while keeping
a watchful eye....

Brothers speak
without saying a word
breaking the silence
their voices are heard,
I hear them howling
across the plains

the images     turn to shadows
beginning to wane.

My soul, determined, to resist
fights returning to the mist
to whence that era
has long since gone

We stand in judgment
of our wrongs


Now these visions of time
filled with life scenes
can only be reached within
our spirit dreams.




seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

of our wrongs


as it should be...right?  all the wrongs that we have ever implimented on the lives of others, will clearly be seen, and we will indeed be humbled.

This was magnificant!!!!

Donna, I love that dreamy photo of you!

May I say that your spirit poem is one that I could read over and over again. ~ That is why I am saving it!

Every word evoked an emotional and dreamy response in me. I not only read your poem ~ I experienced it.

Love & Spirit Light,
Linda

Thank you so much for the peace your spirit dreams brought me.  I want to say that this is the best of all your poems that I have read, but I seem to think that of each one - please don't stay away so long.  We all need your exquisite writing.

wonderful imagery, surreal surroundings and then judgement... a sharp contrast but one that takes the poem from dreamlike to reality. Good job.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Your last two seem to me that you have begun to find roots, sounding Native American to me.  This is absolutely stunning.

Donna

"Now these visions of time
filled with life scenes
can only be reached within
our spirit dreams."

These places, this place that you speak of still exists....I visited for a few moments yesterday..and it was not in a dream.

The place was a small lake, I went to fish, even knowing the weather was going to change...

It was calm, 50 degrees, warm for January, but the ice was safe...I heard a roaring in the woods across the road, it was the cold front approaching...It was awesome...

"Brothers speak
without saying a word
breaking the silence
their voices are heard,
I hear them howling
across the plains"

It was the "brothers" speaking to me..."breaking the silence" telling me to leave..they did not howl across earth plains, but across the water plains of lake Ontario...

And I obeyed... by the time I reached my truck the temp had dropped 20 degrees...and the high winds brought with them, snow.I listened to the voices in the wind, they have never steered me wrong..they are the voices of my "brothers"

Sorry for all the hot air, I talk too much when I become the poem I am reading...

GentlestSpirit~
Maybe without knowing ... you knew that I needed to find that place within myself again ... where the Spirit of my Dreams wanders~

Thank you~

This is a lovely offering~
