Forever's Bequest I see you, Oh Great One in the dusky shadowed eye of the Indian's ghost, in the tread of the white wolf's footsteps, through the branches of white birch on a cold winter's morning, on the slender ripples of the blue lake's waters. I see the reflections of you in those waters, in the gray cloud-covered mountain's peak, on the mountain's ledge in the bare nest of the eagle's home, I see you. Oh Great One, your spirit is in the horse wild, in the color of the mallow flower, in the spark of the red-gold fire, in the whispers of the wind. I beseech thee, Oh Great One, that when I have to leave, there will be a shadowed semblance of me still here to be found. In the life-breath of a new foal's birth, in the spark of the fire's warmth, in the sweet smell of a meadow's flower, a sigh in the wind's whisper. Perhaps, in the sun's shine and radiance, to be shared with moon's dark coolness. So that I might still be a quiet trace of life to be found by the searchers. ©KRJ 9 October, 1999 Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.
