Across The River

~*Marge Tindal*~

Among the legends of the people
harken voices from the past
Kitchi Manitou is speaking
through the Spirits
come at last

Across the glow of moonlit night
owl calls out to wolf in hoot
Wolf in howl echoes to mate
Come we all in sounds relate

Round the campfire burning low
Spirits gather in-the-know
Eagle circles, swoop on wing
gathering - gathering - gathering

Father Spirit stirs the ash
Fire leaps in times recall
Peace will come when Spirits gather
One in Spirit - One in all

Seek you now to gather
Peace is close at hand
We will walk across the river
into the promised land

It will be - as it was intended
Where brothers and sisters of all creed
will be gathered in peaceful assembly
O' Father Spirit hear our need

Music - Across The River ~shewhowaves~

Hauntingly peaceful, I hope.
The spirituality of these moments brings me gracious serenity.

Dear Marge:  This poem speaks to me in many ways.  Over all, a peacefulness and anticipation for what is coming.

Marge,

Though I did not hear any music on my end...I do like the natural Native American tempo (One in Spirit) of your writting.  What an honor to gather one day 'round the campfire with the Ancients prior to passing over to the other side...  Bob <><

just came back to put this gem in me library and print a copy to send to a certain cowboy  
this is classic Margie poetry...
and THAT is always a good thing  

We wish ourselves beautiful,
we cry in the night.
Its not the love you fear ...
its the fall from the height.

Thank you for the reply.
Yes ... it will be a glorious gathering.

I'm sorry you couldn't hear the music, as it is so lovely.
I'll e-mail you a site where you may enjoy many of the Native sounds.
Thank you for your lovely reply.

Thank you, love.
A 'certain Cowboy' surely hears the songs my heart sings ...  
Love ya'

Indeed this piece brings forth the feeling of peace and harmony.  The indian spirit, I felt it so strongly in this one.  They have such a fascinating and beautiful way of looking at the world and the spirit world.
