There Was A Place ... ~*Marge Tindal*~  There was a place a special place where the wind blew free where buffalo and wild mustangs drank from clear sparkling springs Valleys verdant with the bounty from offerings of fertile soil There was a place a special place rich with redskin toil There came a chilling wind blowing white across the land there was a place a special place taken from red man Driven to the edge of the wilderness on The Trail that holds their tears Nunna daul Tsuny a special place a crying place where spirits are still revered In the land that knows much sorrow the ancient spirits roam calling to the Rainbow Warriors It's time ... it's time Time to bring it home There is a place a special place it calls us in urgency to that place that special place joining hands in harmony ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

There came a chilling wind blowing white across the land there was a place a special place taken from red man Great and tender way to put the reason for the tears and the problem without disrupting the harmony of the poem and I loved the music. Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

angel wings on tapestry landed strident history upon the land, mudlumped persuaded, held by the eagle, freed by the mind, souls entwined on a headdress created by the crags of rocks, ticks of clocks invaded by the white oh no! there's nothing right in this, but sweet sweet solemn kisses on a brow, forever now the ground is owned toned by music drummed, hummed by rainmakers fate is a fortune heritage is king voice of marge in passion, sing YES! she echoes hearts of wolves in textures pure YES! her voice proves evermore will soar past mountains and endure!!!! |

Oh Marge this was so delicately done. It is wonderful that there are voices to continue to spread the knowledge and dry some of their tears. I loved this one, into the library it goes. *~If you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all*~ |

Marge Your words were so very powerful in this piece and it was beautifully written. It reminded me so very much of our Australian Aborigines and the hardships they faced when white man came and invaded their land. Take care......Sue Suetang |

Mysteria~ I share with a large heart the gifting of the spirits~ Thank you for stopping in tonight~ Logan~ The voice of the keeper sings to the seekers~ And we pray the song of harmony touches all~ Thank you gentle friend~ SueTang~ Oh, yes ... The Adnyamathanha People of Australia suffered very much as the Native American Indian did~ It is only now in Australia that there are efforts to reconcile some of those events of the past. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge- What can I say that I haven't said before?... This is so touchingly beautiful... "There was a place a special place where the wind blew free where buffalo and wild mustangs drank from clear sparkling springs Valleys verdant with the bounty from offerings of fertile soil There was a place a special place rich with redskin toil" "In the land that knows much sorrow the ancient spirits roam calling to the Rainbow Warriors It's time ... it's time Time to bring it home There is a place a special place it calls us in urgency to that place that special place joining hands in harmony" This left me with a lump in my throat, and a tear in my eye. Thanks for sharing this. Hugs, ~vicky "...until you have read the verse on his |

This is very good. Very thoughtful. The music also. Enjoyed both. But one does wonder sometimes if so many people really don't know what the Trail of Tears is, or if they just don't want to talk about it. |

Yes ... it saddens many~ But when the harmony comes it will gather all who seek~ Thank you, dear lady~ MirrorMan~ I believe that there are many who do not know ... but I have not found even one who does not care once they hear the stories~ I am but one voice given wings to lift the message to others~ Thank you for your comments~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
