"Medicine Wheel"

Coyote walks the windy ridge,
Cedar smell of juniper,
Ancient sentinels,
Ancestral witnesses.
Medicine wheel at my feet,
Four directions beckon me,
To worship.

Evening twilight comes,
Waning moon rises,
Proverbial song echoes,
Shrill soliloquy,
Reckless lonely invitation.
Pray with me,
I am calling.

Thanks Krawdad,

The pub's my place for now. Late night goings-on, and dark corners to lurk in. lol

Welcome to Passions, Coyote. The Pub is a great place, and this is a wonderful piece, but truth be told, with writing like this, you will be welcomed, and heartily, in any Forum!

Thanks Maree for the beautiful card. It enhances the theme.
Sunshine you are too kind.
I think I'll like it here.

Welcome I loved your post

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.

This was simply wonderful! You write quite well! Welcome to Passions!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
