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. ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 9 October, 1999 |

Residing in the deep eyes of wisdom in the owl of winter lies the truth and dedication to your words. So let the knowledge be known in this evenings wind. SUPERB PIECE MY FRIEND. I am so entranced by this one that my words could never do it justice. |

 I love how the Spirit of the "Great One" flows in the natural realm... As I join my heart with the forces of nature, I can almost see the "Great One" smiling down on me as He has smiled down upon you. God Bless You, Bob <>< |
