My Place Now!

Sad weary and disalusioned lifes journey is a hard one,I lift my
voice in the rising sun reaching out to those who have gone before.
Ancient faces in my dreams giving comfort,love,and peace,smiling
gently as they whisper answers gifting me their Sacred knowledge.
Tree branches swaying in fall breezes soft hints of winter kissed
within them,leaves changing to rainbow colors reminding of the
Circles turning.
Puffy clouds across the face of Father Sky bringing relief and
coolness,summer heat is fading fast time to gather for winter.
Mints,blackberry,barks and Cedar,sage,sweet grass,and
Rosemary,all the herbs taught by grandmother safely dried and store
for using.
Cattail,yams,and sweet corn,such peace it brings into my home,and
now to begin a time of renewal,time for quiet reflection
beading,weaving,sewing.
Soft bird song joins my prayers lifts my heart and spirit,I still
hear the voices of the old ones speaking quietly in our own tonuge.
Days gone by and those to come of family who wait on the other
side,I realize it is to my songs the children now listen smiling with
love as I sing them.
My own winter time of life approaches and I know I look forward
to it,there is no fear of growing no rush to find a way to stay
younger.
The shallow,callow days of youth are past my Circle turns and I
am glad,harder now to sit and rise at the story fire,ah,but my place
now is assured.
They wait with loving patience as I take my place,see to my
comfort with respect,showing honor to both me and themselves I am
satisfied we have done well!

Sigi Passing Shadows for me there is neither hurry nor worry,that time comes to each and for me will be a time of joy and greeting to those who wait on the other side!

My Lady sister in truth your names are each within my dawning prayers,for you have here brought a softness into my life with your loving acceptance of someone who has fought her whole life simply to be seen as human. It is to you each my heart gives thanks!
blessings
