Gentle Spirits Walking ~*Marge Tindal*~ When Gentle Spirits walk the wind dances on the river Clouds part allowing the shredded sun to sweep across confetti skies ~ Where Gentle Spirits go walking across stepping-stones of legends they impart wisdomed ripples in the raging waters of regret Seeking solace in the salted creek beds where tears flowed in tumultuous tumbling beneath the soil of red souls ever moving ever moving ever flowing ~ Ancient spirits of the past walking I am moved to follow ~ in moccasin prints across the chasms touching yesterday ~ I feel the presence of a herd of them shaking me awakening me Saying Now is the time while the yellowed moon sits high in the westerly sky Now before the morning sun draws nigh Now before all of the memories have gone by N o w And so now it is ~ Gentle Spirits walking my way calling my name now - now - now ~ I write to appease them to appease me Offering the night respite from keep of things that need to be remembered ~ Spirits walking from lands afar stopping to rest within me ~ Into me they come filling the vessel with approving words meant to be poured from me from me from me ~ overflowing overflowing overflowing ~ ~ ~ I am in the keep of Gentle Spirits Walking ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Karilea~ Anytime, my friend ..... Melton~ Listening to the 'souls' of those who have gone before us, is sometimes heavy - sometimes peaceful. They come to tell us to be ready when the White Buffalo Calf Woman returns to claim the bundle. Thank you for the reply, my friend. JanetMarie~ Ohhhh, my friend - how precious are the tiny moccasins ...  Thank you so much. LadyInWhite~ Yes ... watch for the Gentle Spirits ... They will show us the way to eternal peace. Serenity~ When someone senses the urgency of the penning - it is mean to be ... Thank you. SuthernGal~ Thank you, my friend. They summon me at the oddest hours - I am drawn to the visions they bring. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge, You are in the keep of gentle spirits walking, and their legacy is in your keep, and in your heart, and in the written records of your beauiful poetry. You have kept the spirits in our awareness. Thank you for this Liz |

Smooth, flowing and spiritual Marge! I know where you're coming from and the gentle spirits are there in the back of your mind reminding you of the wisdom they still possess through you...this is wonderful Marge!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
