Legends Upon The Whispering Winds


The mists of yesterday rise upon the mountains
of once upon a time when the ancients walked
throughout the realms of the distant past.

Proud was the heritage of those who dwelled
amongst the beauty of that which was
created by the makers hand.

Life was lived in serene simplicity
when the Earth Mother provided all that was needed
for existance upon her fruitful lands.

Joyous were the celebrations of a life
that had yet been untouched by
the clenching fists of mankind.

Waterfalls of mellow beauty flowed
in abundance into the mountains
and valleys of forever more.

Tranquility unfolded in nights of star lit wonder
where camp fires burned on the dawning horizons
of future journeys yet unseen.

Great were the stories that were carved in the memories
of elders with wisdom abounding being passed
from generation to generation with pride.

Edlers spoke in the stillness of the night
disturbed only by the occassional crackling
within the fires that burned of eternity.

The white wolf spirit listened with respect
from yon mountain side, with understanding
that he has grown in wisdom  with his native brothers.



Luna peeks from amongst the pines hidden in silver glow
as the white wolf spirit howls his presence
into the skies of the night.

~Those days of old have long since passed~

The past has slowly diminshed as it has been
dealt with harshly by the cruel hand of mankind,
yet
    still,
the mists gather,
  Luna eternally shines,
the mountains listen,
          and the heart that seeks

can still hear the white wolf howling
breaking through the silence of eternity
as he calls to the brotherhood of spirits
uniting   they gather   once again~

~Their legends can still be heard
upon the whispering winds~

{It was like a lighted match had been tossed into my soul
it was like a dam had broken in my heart
after taking every detour, getting lost and losing track
so that even if I wanted to I could not find my way back..
after driving out the memory
of the way things might have been,
after I'd forgotten all about us....
the song remembers when....Tricia Yearwood.}

As I fell down this beauty, I'm thinking, WHY is it so comfortably known to me? Ah...repost heaven!

this is a great poem,
with beautiful imagery.
I loved its nostalgia and reflection.

This would make a great commercial here in Canada!
