Unto These Hills

~*Marge Tindal*~

I have come seeking a spirit
that I hear lives among these hills
Navigating the stepping stones of my ancestry
found just beyond the rill

High upon the mountain's peak
I pause in reverie
They come in like thunder
surrounding the awe of me

Eagle, Owl, Wolf and Bear
gather to share the legends of past times
Knowing I am but the vessel that holds them
until I pour them out in my rhymes

Across this land, a mighty prophecy
coming soon to show us the way
to peace, harmony and love
in one - as one - for always

The fire in me burns with the lessons learned
in my questing I've seen them bring
tellings that are meant for sharing
so that our hearts together may sing

Sweet harmony is coming
Down the hillside it will cascade
Covering those who are ready
in the peace that will be made

I am but the messenger
sent to carry the song
Make ready for the peace
that will carry us along

Ho! Mitakuye Oyasin ~
And peace to all~

And you are one heck of a messenger, too...so I hope you will never tire of carrying the truth, just as there will never be less than one who is waiting to hear...

There is no better messenger out there...you not only deliver the message, but you put it in such a way that it is impossible not to appreciate the words.  And appreciate them I do!
Hugs,

   This touched me deeply, my friend...

        that will carry us along

        Ho! Mitakuye Oyasin ~

   Yes...you are 'the messenger', my friend,
   and I feel truly blessed to be on the
   receiving end of the message you carry.
   The spirits speak through you,
   and we listen...and hear.

Margie....
Mark had to get off the comp tonite when he was in here earlier...and hes not sure when he'll get comp time again for a few days...so he wanted me to reply for him until he can get here.
Needless to say this one spoke to him...
as did the music...I dont think either one of us will have a dry eye while that one plays..
He wants to again say a heartfelt thank you for being his messenger and for your role in helping him begin his journey and vision quest.
We all need to discover this inner peace...
love ya Margie

Ah Marge, you knew I'd want to see this didn't you! You put it in a way I want to but have been unable to and really have no need to as You do it so well. Beautiful Marge, and again, when I grow up I hope to write as well as you...especially about NA's.

*Peace, you*

I couldn't resist coming to read this one on my own and it is even more beautiful than when it was read to me.  The song of course cuts through me but your words really strike that chord deep inside and I thank you for this and for being the sweet messenger that you are.  "He" knows the ones that will carry the torch for him and light the way for others and that is why you were so blessedly chosen.  

Did I mention the cadence and flow of this were outstanding as is the message you share?  Well, it is.
