The skies are restless today
as the spirits wander....searching.
The winds roar when the
white wolf howls
.....into the silence.
The trees bow
in respect....
to the elders.
The children play
hide and seek
...among cotton candy clouds.
The heavens are
painted blue.....
with their laughter.
The winds stop
to listen....
as the elders speak...
...of days gone by.

Days......
when the earth
was their mother
and the land
.....was their home.
They speak
of a time......
when the spirits watched
......from skies above.
A time before
the skies became
a playground......
for their children.

Thank you Sunshine, for reading, and for understanding.  In mans time so many injustices have been done to oh so  many.
It makes one pray that we have learned by
our mistakes.  Thanks.

While history is the silent testimony to the injustices -
the Spirits move with purpose to bring these messages to be shared.

It is a time of Spirits walking~
Thank you for sharing them with us.

Marge and J, so right you are both, the spirits do walk.  We all travel our own paths....makes me wonder sometimes where we are heading.  Thanks.

Serenity, Walt, when we stop to think of where they have been, it makes you wonder where we are going.  Have a great Christmas.  *s*
