The thickening mist gathers across a place long forgotten. Hidden within the fold are the keepers of the earth. In the darkness of the night can be seen the fires that burn as the elders pass the pipe of peace. Through the silence can be heard the chants of the ancients. Stories are told of the white wolf who howls his prayers to the spirit moon. Legend calls him the protector of the spirits. The spirit of a people whose heritage is that of pride and strength. Ghost riders journey through the shadows as their spirits echo on the wind, passing through the valleys of time. On a still, quiet night let your soul listen. You will hear the spirit walkers as they gather in the mist..... of the place long forgotten. On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. ~Me~ (I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~Garth) [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (03-01-2002 08:56 AM).] |

Thank you for sending this to me, as it is a constant reminder to us all to listen, for what was said mattered, and in this poem I feel their pride. Lovely. ~* Imagination is more important than knowledge *~ |

 (big hugggssssss) Oh my gosh, this is sooooooo touching, sweet friend, much of my family is Cherokee Indian and I know much about the wolf and the legacy it brings to us all! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, may the wolf forever carry on a song of ancient wisdom and value to us all lovingly, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
