In the time of falling light taking deep into the night A figure sits, legs crossed with ease others gathered against the trees A story they say, we wish to hear something of times we hold dear Enough of all that goes on now give us some magic if you allow Tell us of wolf when driven to the sky that all his kin now lift mournful cry Or of the raven or turtle wise make it glow in all our eyes Of the great white stag who did appear to the council of forest folk whom held him dear Tell of the salmon who wished to be man and how he came to leave the land Speak out to us, old ancient one draw the night out to early sun The old one smiled into the night so fair upon hearing a wolf howling into the air He laid a stick upon his fire sparkling rainbow colors as his desire He lifted a hand in silence keep then very slowly began to speak |

My father used to prepare pinecones so at Christmas, he would place them in the fire, and they would sparkle the rainbow colors... you've brought back a fine memory, Storyteller... |

 ahh my sweet keeper.. you give me far too much credit..but I thank you for sharing this lovely story with me.... when I saw the pic I knew it was meant for you... keep the fire burning dear Logan... we need the warmth of your wisdom... and the light you shine on our paths. This distance has shown how the road remains alone Now I'm looking in my life ... for a truth that is my own. [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 10-25-2001).] |

Logan--A fire burns now in words of time, each stick a thought, some told in rhyme. You've captured the glow, dear one, with this poem. |

This has the slow turn of a series to come, so I shall sit and wait, patiently, for the Storyteller to begin, for sometimes the best stories are begun in anticipation. |
