Spirit Quest

Listen to the sounds of earth
when you make the quest
into the heart of your spirit.
Feel the thunder of passing time
with the knowledge that spirits before
have taken that same journey
in quest for that oneness of self.

Walk each step upon paths
of humble yesterdays
aged with the wisdoms
of the great ones who
have traveled with his
brother the white wolf.
Through their wisdom learn
great truths of eternity.

Lessons are taught
as journeys are sought.

Journey deeply into that
of heart and soul,
let the spirits guide you.
Hear them speak across
skies of forever more.
The ancients whisper in the trees,
wisdom blows upon the breeze...

And as the mighty Eagle would soar
upon the winds of tomorrow
be carried upon those same winds
to the time
of the elders and listen as they speak
with the wisdoms of the spirits and they will
lead you upon this journey of today
as you travel into the eternity of tomorrows.....

and the journey will end
when you find peace
within yourself.


Look past the present
into the soul of tomorrow.
Embrace the new dawn
as you stand upon the horizon
of the future as the spirits guide
you with the wisdoms of all time.
Embark upon your quest
with peace in your heart.

Look to the skies,
travel your journey....
and live......


{inspired by some very wise words
from a very inspirational poet,
and some very gentle breezes blowing
peaceful thoughts my way.  I thank them both
for the inspiration.  *s*}


somebody tell me, please help me....
understand.......(as sung by Trace Adkins)

{on the wings of words are spirits fly...and our souls are free~me

GS....there is much to be said...or I should
say thought,  when one reads this poem..
For, within it, there is much wisdom and
truth....

Magnus, sometimes a day spent in solitude
can bring whispers in the trees that bring wisdom ......if we are only patient enough to listen....and learn.  Thank you for reading, it is much appreciated.

Noah, smiling here....
if there is any wisdom to be found in my words it was indeed through the inspirations gifted to me when I wrote this.  I still believe that if one listens.......they can hear.  Thank you for the delightful gift of you Noah.

The above verse says quite a bit and I think you already knew that as you bolded it to begin with.  This kind of inpiration is one that you shouldn't lose and you did wonders in expressing it.  I enjoyed much.

Thank you Mark.  Sometimes I think perhaps we just need gentle reminders of the peace around us and within us.   I thank the "breezes" and I thank you.  You know
your looks into my thoughts and words are appreciated.

Oh, Nancy, what a wonderful, wonderful write. I have re-read it so many times and each time find a word or a line that touches my soul.

Your writing is so inspiring and thought provoking. Bless you...Hugs, Marti
