Forever's Bequest

I see you, Oh Great One

in the dusky shadowed eye
of the Indian's ghost,

in the tread of the white
wolf's footsteps,

through the branches of white birch
on a cold winter's morning,

on the slender ripples of the
blue lake's waters.

I see the reflections of you
in those waters,

in the gray cloud-covered
mountain's peak,

on the mountain's ledge
in the bare nest of the eagle's home,

I see you.

Oh Great One,

your spirit is in the horse wild,

in the color of the mallow flower,

in the spark of the red-gold fire,

in the whispers of the wind.

I beseech thee,
Oh Great One,

that when I have to leave,
there will be a shadowed semblance of

me still here to be found.

In the life-breath of a new
foal's birth,

in the spark of the fire's warmth,

in the sweet smell of a meadow's flower,

a sigh in the wind's whisper.

Perhaps, in the sun's shine
and radiance, to be shared

with moon's dark coolness.

So that I might still be a
quiet trace of life to be found

by the searchers.

Sunshine of my heart~
This is sooooooo beautiful.

It is a memory of sitting the Vision Quest of my people.

'So that I might still be a
quiet trace of life to be found
by the searchers.'

I loved it the first time and thank you for thinking of me in this repost.

Awesome still -
Love ya'
