In look they turned with frightened eyes For darkness came to fill the skies The wind did howl as wolves demented And minds did freeze from what represented In haste they came to old one’s tent For they knew not what had been sent Guardian, please light the fire For surely the spirits are in ire With a sigh, from within he came And said, my children, its all the same Sit in circle while I light the fire To hold back darkness and ease their ire Sit on buffalo robe to gain its strength Stretch hands to fire at full arm’s length Close the eyes, for the light remains To erase the darkness and its chains The old ones are showing how your mind does feel When you let the darkness make you reel Then gives you fire to see the light Which sends the darkness away in fright What you fear, is fear itself Put the howls and blackness on the shelf For the night will fade upon dawn’s door And the sun will warm you to soul’s core Heed the warning the ancients gave Let not the darkness hold in sway Give your spirit the chance to shine And let this be a vision and sign Now go work and play, in clear sunlight Which washes away your fears and fright For the black will only chain you down And give you thoughts on which to frown With happy cry, they left their fear And set aside the frown and tear The wind blew gentle and the sun was warm And peace did come to wash any harm |

Sometimes it can be a frightening experience, depression - it is when we reach out and touch those who know, that we are touched, again, with the light of understanding. Well done. It's good you see you back in the slightly rearranged blue pages.... |

Heed the warning the ancients gave Let not the darkness hold in sway Give your spirit the chance to shine And let this be a vision and sign ======================== The wind blew gentle and the sun was warm And peace did come to wash any harm ========================= That gentle wind that blew across prairie and plains .... spoke in whispered wisdom as it sighed your name.    You're the color of the sky reflected in each store-front window pane ... |

Solid, Logan. Among your best, for sure. There is much in this that touches reality, and some that transcends it. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
