wearing protection the important thing is make a medicine bag I thought long ago looking for something good soft pouch and a piece red leather pregnant with ochre and scotch my own addition two feathers caught falling one small white stone like a heart but I never found heart like a stone for mine tooth scale from a shell and a song only I can hear now and maybe you if you will listen other things I won’t say yet things that resonate and resinate one amber with no bug grains of sand from where once a beach rose petals dust now I’m sure magic anyway power I thought spirit safety life I thought now I am unsure does it protect me from them or them from me |

"and a song only I can hear now and maybe you if you will listen" Listening here, to the call of my spirit loon, remembering a good luck charm lost long long ago; but no matter... for it never protected me or them, from US. |

Enjoyed the read, Ratleader. Good question you ask but I wonder, is there ever any kind of protection from what is meant to be? |

"grains of sand from where once a beach rose" A poem in each stanza and the whole poem is pure magic. |

grains of sand from where once a beach rose petals dust now I’m sure magic anyway I've highlighted so many passages... only to think "no, THIS one... no... I should choose THIS ONE!"... which means to me that every line is sheer magic... There is great, greater, greatest... nothing less. *S* Ultimately, I chose these... because the way one image slides into another so smoothly is breathtaking. *S* This is some of your finest work, my friend. *S* |
