The thickening mist gathers across a place long forgotten.
Hidden within the fold are the keepers of the earth.
In the darkness of the night can be seen the fires that
burn as the elders pass the pipe of peace.

Through the silence can be heard the chants of the ancients.
Stories are told of the white wolf who howls his prayers to
the spirit moon. Legend calls him the protector of the spirits.
The spirit of a people whose heritage is that of pride and strength.

Ghost riders journey through the shadows as their
spirits echo on the wind, passing through the valleys of time.

On a still, quiet night let your soul listen. You will hear the
spirit walkers as they gather in the mist.....
of the place long forgotten.




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

Indeed you are just that~

What a lovely, lovely piece~
Touching me tenderly with the beauty of your thoughts~
A time of Spirits Walking ...
and they move gently through your penning~
