After reading Sunshine's duet and her comments about the memories of the past in these pages blue I wanted to resurrect this poem I wrote about one of the most inspiring women I had the privilege to get to know amongst the blue pages - I hope you enjoy!

~Cherokee Angel~

She has a burning
Yearning spiritual desire
Burns deep inside
Like flames of fire
~~~
A spiritual desire
That yearns to be free
To fly beyond rainbows
Of native Cherokee
~~~
Her spirits arise
Her wings are formed
She's Cherokee angel
Most adored
~~~
Wings spread out
Far beyond her native land
To gently touch
With guided hand
~~~
Cherokee angel
I hear you far and beyond
Forest floor
Cherokee angel
Guide us forever more
~~~

In loving memory of one of the most missed people of the pages blue of the past our beautiful Marge Tindal. Marge always had encouragement, praise and friendly replies all the while inspiring others and myself here at passions and she will always be missed.

~HUGs~

thanks Jerry~
If you have the time search for her under her name, her poetry was very inspirational, she had a love of the moon and a passion for her Cherokee heritage, she was also a very encouraging woman and someone that I miss here very much.
She left a big hole!

I'm proud to have known Marge if only through these pages.  She was a very special individual.  Glad you reposted this, my friend.

Nice to see you again too!

GRAND that you re-posted this 'write' ... Marge was the one who convinced me to 'walk'
these fine blue sands of 'P.I.P.-land' by the cyber-sea in the first place (back in 2006)!

A lovely tribute to a lovely person.  I can't think about Marge without recalling a poem she wrote called "When Warrior's Weep."  A poem that moved me dearly.  Her heritage was as beautiful to witness in her work, as this is in tribute.
