At The Campfire Of Old Warrior ~*Marge Tindal*~  Slowly the flames lick at the night dancing to the music from the stories come to lay within the embers told at the campfire of the Old Warrior Gather 'round and listen for in his meditations are all the wisdom treasures from legendary ghosts of the moon-over past fanned in flaming measure Incantation chant of spiritual sounds dancing the ring of fire Embers glow low into the night as vessels are filled with inspire Old Warrior sits the Vision Quest guiding nocturnal Spirits home Sharing the sacred messages of Spirits on the roam Nestling in among the timbers sent to light the dwellings gathered 'round the campfire seeking ... seeking ... the tellings Old Warrior in trance as visions dance among the land of the living from the portals of the past giving ~ giving ~ giving When early morn breaks sun campfire tellings are done Old Warrior smiles with youthful promise of return As the evening holds counsel again so does Old Warrior *Dedicated to the greatest soul-mate this little heart could ask for Don Anger - My ~Old Warrior~ I love you ~*Maiden*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Gather 'round and listen for in his meditations are all the wisdom treasures from legendary ghosts of the moon-over past fanned in flaming measure Incantation chant of spiritual sounds dancing the ring of fire Embers glow low into the night as vessels are filled with inspire Old Warrior sits the Vision Quest guiding nocturnal Spirits home Sharing the sacred messages of Spirits on the roam Nestling in among the timbers sent to light the dwellings gathered 'round the campfire seeking ... seeking ... the tellings Old Warrior in trance as visions dance among the land of the living from the portals of the past giving ~ giving ~ giving ---------------------------------- Someone has been listening well and her vessel is filled with inspire. *S* This is a treasure, Marge... I don't know if I could ever choose your best work, but this is certainly in the upper echelon... I'm in awe. *S* |

You know Marge, my great grandfather was a full-blooded Cherokee Chief. He was my "Old Warrior" and he had many tales to share with me before his death. This poem reminded me of him. Thank you. Michael |

You have not only brought back the warmth of dancing the circle of fire, but your penned imagery allowed me to remember that all eagles soar. "I am not now that which I have been." |

JanetMarie~ You know that I appreciate having you read and enjoy ... and to share with our cowboy is a special treat for me. Thank you so very, very much. SuthernGal~ Oh, how I thank you- I listen and with the lightest stroke of thought from ~Warrior~ ... my heart is stirred to penning. *Hugs* ... BIG HUGS ! SoaringEagle~ Oh, sweetest ~Warrior~ ... In the eyes of this ~Maiden~, you will always be forever ... From the bottom of my heart I thank you for all you gift to me~ Michael~ I am so touched that it would remind you of your Grandfather~ Someday I would love to see you touch his spirit and write of the tales he told you. We are Cherokee ... we are ONE ! Julian~ And I feel as though we have shared a fire dance or two. Thank you for touching spirits. Mysteria~ Sighing with gracious appreciation. Of all the visions he's shared with me ... his greatest gift is the gift of inspiring me to be more ... to believe in myself and to open my heart to share the visions . ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
