Tears Of The Shaman

~*Marge Tindal*~

Always together - forever apart
Memories cascade in the masquerade
of tears across barren plains of the heart
Crying for the yesterday of sad-sung lament
far beyond eternity your spirit was sent
to return again on rise of the moonlight
bringing together sweet songs of delight
Questing now in recall of the visions sung
Always together - forever apart
brings the quest to swell within this heart
Sharing so that others may know
there is peace to be found
in the after-know~



Art credit to the late Jerome Tiger
1941-1967

Marge,

It is with awe that I read this poem.  I have read light and loveing poems you have written and poems that tug at the heart strings, but this shows the true depth of your words.

Dan

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.

Marge, again girl you have left me speechless.  You do wonders with your verse.
Hugs.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

These lines gave me chills... for I know the spirit found welcome. *S* Your listening heart has once again guided your magical pen... this is beautiful!

Of course, I lost all serious (and coherent *G*) thought at the comments... ROFLMAO at the L'Oreal tribe and their quarterly meetings! *G*

I wasn't familiar with Tiger's work until that special trip I took this summer but was very impressed... I like your choice very much! *S*
