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 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 a place... long forgotten. On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. |

GentleSpirit~ This is the very essence of the sitting of the Vision Quest of my heritage. You've touched the gentle spirits and set them walking. I enjoyed this more than anything I could have hoped to find on this day. Thank you so much for this gift. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
