Unto These Hills ~*Marge Tindal*~ ![]() I have come seeking a spirit that I hear lives among these hills Navigating the stepping stones of my ancestry found just beyond the rill High upon the mountain's peak I pause in reverie They come in like thunder surrounding the awe of me Eagle, Owl, Wolf and Bear gather to share the legends of past times Knowing I am but the vessel that holds them until I pour them out in my rhymes Across this land, a mighty prophecy coming soon to show us the way to peace, harmony and love in one - as one - for always The fire in me burns with the lessons learned in my questing I've seen them bring tellings that are meant for sharing so that our hearts together may sing Sweet harmony is coming Down the hillside it will cascade Covering those who are ready in the peace that will be made I am but the messenger sent to carry the song Make ready for the peace that will carry us along Ho! Mitakuye Oyasin ~ And peace to all~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

The fire in me burns with the lessons learned in my questing I've seen them bring tellings that are meant for sharing so that our hearts together may sing Sweet harmony is coming Down the hillside it will cascade Covering those who are ready in the peace that will be made I am but the messenger sent to carry the song Make ready for the peace that will carry us along ============================== Please forgive me but I am at a loss for words... when you get a moment...could you please E-me about that song, It just went thru me. ![]() I know no one is to blame |

There is no better messenger out there...you not only deliver the message, but you put it in such a way that it is impossible not to appreciate the words. And appreciate them I do! Hugs, ~Krista ![]() "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. |

Margie.... Mark had to get off the comp tonite when he was in here earlier...and hes not sure when he'll get comp time again for a few days...so he wanted me to reply for him until he can get here. Needless to say this one spoke to him... as did the music...I dont think either one of us will have a dry eye while that one plays.. He wants to again say a heartfelt thank you for being his messenger and for your role in helping him begin his journey and vision quest. We all need to discover this inner peace... love ya Margie hinvgala jadanvto hadahvsi nijadulisgai dijayohiki lahigowata hinvgala jadanvto gv ge yuhi Maga |

hinvgala jadanvto hadahvsi nijadulisgai dijayohiki lahigowata hinvgala jadanvto ******************** I couldn't resist coming to read this one on my own and it is even more beautiful than when it was read to me. The song of course cuts through me but your words really strike that chord deep inside and I thank you for this and for being the sweet messenger that you are. "He" knows the ones that will carry the torch for him and light the way for others and that is why you were so blessedly chosen. Did I mention the cadence and flow of this were outstanding as is the message you share? Well, it is. gv ge yuhi!! |
