Spirits of the Quest
~*Marge Tindal*~

White Feather embarks
On wisdomed wing of the Owl
Great journey at hand

Spirit Wolf watches
Coming true of great tellings
Lone voice cries in night

Spirit Bear lumbers
Sacred circle grows with pride
Legends dance within

Ancient Spirits speak
Echoes of the Vision Quest
Peace lays at my feet

Events remembered
Brought in unison of voice
I need not forget

Spirits gathering
Pouring into the vessel
Tales for me to share

Peace awaits the dawn
Across the great land sweeping
Spirits say it's so

And so it must be ~

Balladeer~

On quest of ancient
Words of feathered fluttering
Wisdom comes gently

<~~~~~>

ButterfliesDC~

Gems of wisdom come
Searching deep within myself
Brought on spirit's wing

<~~~~~>

Serenity~

True the phrases come
Ancient spirits of the tongue
Forefathers speaking

CatalinaMoon~

Special moments rare
Found within the circled dance
Questing at it's best

Krista~

Cherokee rising
Spirits on the questing prowl
Sharing what they know

*Thank you all for knowing
when the spirits move me.

Martie~

Special sister friend
Pride in loved ones memory
Rests in heart of friend

Loving kindness comes
In understanding of heart
Yours touching with mine

Ancient spirits tell
The circle of dance is you
Friendships that are true

LOVE YOU, My friend~

Your talent knows no bounds Marge! Excellent work, again!  

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown

Marge
This is just magically woven together. I loved it. Very visual Haiku.

             Sound of the songbird
          Whispers gently on the wind
               Music to my ears.

I thought I would try my first Haiku on you here.  Let me know what you think. This one has probably already been written somewhere, but this is how I felt about what I just read of yours.

Marge ... I am simply floored! It's enough that the beautiful words rendered at the onset of this post were exquisite ... but you've by far out-done yourself even further in the responses. Absolutely and most sincerely beautiful my dear friend!  

Best wishes,
