Ancestral winds begin to blow listen closely you will come to 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 husband 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 yet, they see? {revised 5-20-06} seek the flame within yourself and let your soul be cleansed by the fire of love. Axel Ekenstierna |

Donna, I loved this! Sounds like something that should be read aloud by a campfire...(if that makes any sense)  |

I hope you dont mind if I post Stone It is not to take away from your words It is to respond to that feeling that I feel is deep inside yourself, that feeling that is also outside you, that feeling That to my mind says 'you write as if' in some place amongst trees with an opening leading to a feeling of deliberation, of deciding Of feeling that you were free I felt like this once, but life unfortunately is never that simple, since we all care Dave I face you on a bad day I face the green For you have the life I face you on a bad day I come to you to bring me life I sit before you, have the time I await the wind, the cleansing rhyme I face you as I should With the wind cresendo I face you I am dirty I come to be cleansed I come for your peace I come for an end No-one in this life knows Your innermost thoughts You are to them A game For me You bring a feeling of strength You bring the past You tell me of the future You give me peace at last |

Your words really inspire I will go down for my official last of caste poem when I get the warning and from GreenEyes - no less. I want to thank for writing and distracting me from work. It is a nice experience. You are excellent Dave |

::smiles:: I love it when a campfire becomes THE campfire. Ancient. Like an eternal flame. Its glorious when a Phoenix rises from the ashes. Wonderful ! |

I can see you, in your gentleness, bringing a bundle of ancient sticks, re-kindling spirits, to blow into the winds again. ~gorgeous write~ |

Your words are good But the question is Why are others trapped in the new area, whilst your words are now moved from the old area. Your quality of words is not doubted, the truth as to the degree that people write was becoming an embarrasment. But why only your words Dave |
