The skies are restless today
as the spirits wander

            ....searching.

The winds roar when the
white wolf howls
.....into the silence.

The trees bow
in respect....
to the elders.

The children play
hide and seek

...among cotton candy clouds.

The heavens are
painted blue.....
with their laughter.

The winds stop
to listen....
as the elders speak...

          ...of days passed by.

Days......
when the earth
was their mother
and the land

.....was their home.


They speak
of a time......
         eternal,
when the spirits watched

......from skies above.

A time before
the skies
      became
a playground......


for their children.

Besides being a great read it left me with
untold numbers of visions in my mind.

So say the spirits to I....." Awake in the dawn of tomorrows tears and find joy as the journey of a heritage is set in the eye of this day's sun to once again control the winds of honor and soar in the hearts of ancestors."

==============

You gotta know whether revised or not......I love this piece.  It's meaning is more special to myself than I could ever convey but feel at peace in not attemping so.  Beautiful thoughts penned in delicate assurance ....... you know "gentle" just as is your chosen name in the pages of blue.
