Keeper of Treasures White Feather, born of long-ago love welcomes the mourning of gray dove salutes new morning Sun on high hails well all apparition's sighs walking in steps of heart-melt measure keeping close all earthly treasures and lo she is nature's keeper, one who lives as 'tho she'll nigh be done a loosed feather of hawk to find willow branch in round she winds a spider's web she places on the round so that only good dreams may be found all blessed creatures of the earth come to White Feather, trust her worth a maiden, fine, virtuous to all mankind ancestral stories dwell on her mind a Keeper of Treasures, she shares them well and weaves them fine of silver, with her spells enchanting all who may come along the call of flute on wind becomes her song a friend, who through the skies, extends her hand, and waves the sun goodbye again |

Karilea~ When spirits call across the mountain echoing in beauteous phrase I am content to walk the wind listening for all my days Yet, upon a spirit soar I envision even more ... Before I lay me down to sleep - I'll walk with you - in treasured keep Soul companions reaching forth with heartfelt songs heard on the winds where friendship ... belongs to those who know where Spirits are walking among kindly poets with quill-of-talking ... Weave on cherished spirit reflection of my heart~ Join me now in singing for we are never far apart~ *Have I told you today - that I love you ? Listen to the wind ... for it brings my song~ Thank you for the sweet gift of YOU ! ~*Willow White Feather*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Great reading this piece, Sunshine. My niece made me a "Dreamcatcher", it made me think of her, and how she's grown. Thanks. "The poet is the priest of the invisible." |

all blessed creatures of the earth come to White Feather, trust her worth a maiden, fine, virtuous to all mankind ancestral stories dwell on her mind a Keeper of Treasures, she shares them well and weaves them fine of silver, with her spells enchanting all who may come along the call of flute on wind becomes her song a friend, who through the skies, extends her hand, and waves the sun goodbye again ====================== me thinks poetess Sun has been gifted a feathered muse of her own ... and is weaving wonderful words of spirit... with ribbons of spun Sun.. for the second time today...I say ... this does both Whitefeather and Sunshine, much justice. very cool write K. oh you speak to me in riddles |

This was yet another of your Nature poems that mesmerize. The Indian themes are so well done...I love the last 2 lines: a friend, who through the skies, extends her hand, and waves the sun goodbye again |

You are all so very kind....we all know with whom the spirits walk, but sometimes they reach over and whisper to me so that I might join the journey.... |
