I Shed Tears! I shed tears and no one sees them,my heart breaks and no one feels it,my shoulders bow beneath a weight far too heavy for them,my body trembles from a fear there is no fighting. Sighs escape I can not control them,dreams of pasts I still own them,stories told my spirit sings them,fires dance with shadows in them,Eagle flies and we ignore him. The whole world dies with mankind watching,how many times told by the old one's,how many screams rip our dreams,how much blood turned to mud,how many years do we go on hurting? From the first we made ourselves clear,we did not want what they offered,we had no need for gold and riches,we honored instead rainbows and roses. How can you place value on liquid golden sunlight,on clean clear sparkling waters,a sky so blue you can not explain it,a land where wahya walks free, a peace so still a whisper destroys it? What greater gift than a childs laughter,when they are allowed to be free,when no thought would ever enter of harming,when no one had to keep them safe from kidknapping? Have you ever stood upon a mountian,looked across a mist covered valley,see nothing but blue,brown,and green,with a splash of wild flowers and watch a deer feed? Do you understand yet,will you ever,it is not what you can take that is important,but the kindness you leave behind you! granny

"How can you place value on liquid golden sunlight,on clean clear sparkling waters,a sky so blue you can not explain it,a land where wahya walks free, a peace so still a whisper destroys it?" ~ Granny, we need you to keep on reminding us what we are losing through our lack of respect for Mother Nature. I am always moved by your wise words. Love & Nature Spirit Light, EA ![]() |

Yes, I have stood on the mountain. Yet I wonder if my childrens children will be able to. Perhaps they will find different mountains. Your peoples stories are shared by many others throughout the world. |

Dekanogi Ulogilv, One wonders why this song of yours is not inherent in every human's heart. It is basic, simple, and would mean the most to all mankind, should he or she realize it. To copy a favorite line, would be to reprint all of your poem here. Just know that I know...and perhaps between you and I, we can multiply into more? Before it is really too late? ![]() Vsigi Nvdaegehi Utsisdalugisgv |

Your peoples stories are shared by many others throughout the world. O'siyo Time Prophet,yes to your question,they will for it is told by the ancients the "way" of this fourth world will end,and soon,it is time my friend for the Fifth the time of women,peace,and healing! Time, untime, has ended.Those who still share that connection to Mother Earth,hear still the song of peace yes,and know the stories well!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have you ever stood upon a mountain,looked across a mist covered valley,see nothing but blue,brown,and green,with a splash of wild flowers and watch a deer feed? Do you understand yet,will you ever,it is not what you can take that is important,but the kindness you leave behind you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ wredgranny, The answer to your question is yes, and I will never cease to be amazed that some people I stand shoulder to shoulder with cannot see beyond the limitations of their eyes. I have also stood in the midst of greed, chaos and every modern trait that moves Mankind away from the universal source. Yet I still see the simple beauty and reality of the life force. I have lived in a different world from you and am jealous of your heritage. I feel the wrongs that man has and is doing. In another post you say that 'magic' is not evil but in various guises religion and greed have classed it as such. I am tainted by some religions with such nonsense. Yes, a very different world, where I too can be mocked for my beliefs and journeys into places others are not aware of. Where I too am guided by spirits to maintain a balance between the spiritual and the very essence of our souls. I have been fascinated by your writes and find the difference in the chaos that reins in my 'modern' day environment such contrast to your endevours to maintain balance between spirit, man and nature. Our history is our future, our awareness of creation and our ethereal place within it is our inner sanctuary. What legacy will we leave and what will we carry with us when we unite again with spirit. Different people, different age, different obstacles..... same journey.... Ivor |
