One of these days
The Earth will start to shake... Then and only then, we'll realize There was a risk we needed to take! One of these days We'll look all around... And it’ll all be gone No memories, no souvenirs…… One of these days The thought will be too much to bear...

Voices in the Wind....~
O Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the winds, and whose breath gives life to all the world -hear me- I come before you, one of your children. I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset..........~ Make my hands respect the things you have made, my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise, so that I may know the things you have taught my People. The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek strength not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself. Make me ever ready to come to you, with clean hands and straight eyes, so when life fades as a fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.............~

As the day begins with the rising sun,
I ask, Spirit keeper of the East, Brother Eagle, Be with me……………~ Fly high as you carry my prayers to the Creator. May I have eyes as sharp as yours, So I am able to see truth and hope on the path I have chosen. Spirit keeper of the South, Wolf, Be with me………..~ Help me to remember to love and feel compassion for all mankind. Help me to walk my path with joy and love for myself, for others, for the four legged, the winged ones, the plants and all creation upon Mother Earth. Spirit Keeper of the West, Brown Bear, Be with me…………..~ Bring healing to the people I love and to myself. Bring into balance the physical, mental and spiritual, so I am able to know my place on this earth, in life and in death. Spirit Keeper of the North, White Buffalo, Be with me………..~ As each day passes, help me to surrender, with grace, the things of my youth. Help me to listen to the quiet, and find serenity and comfort in the silences as they become longer………….~

Kindred
Hey P.G. I read your last piece and for some reason this came bubbling up. I don't know how good it is, but I figured why not post it (if you want it taken down though I completely understand
) I'll try to start writing again soon though.Kindred Images pass in a mind now vacant Ghosts of a past forever taken You shudder and cringe As lover huddle upon the fringe We don't know what the future holds Beyond our lives that grow so old We take heart in lives that aren't our own Within the night only kindred spirits are known Wrap yourself in that armor so tight Twisted and warped with titanic might We know the path laid bare A life lived in longing care Dig deep within your mind Do you understand the killing kind Lovers wept in a tear-less heartbreak Bodies bent, motionless as a bloodless stake Feel it deep inside your soul A lovers touch now years old Lean in softly and remember the past As I lean away to keep our lives masked

Images in the mind now extinguished
Ghosts of a past forever forgotten You tremble and flinch Like lovers huddled at the edge We know what the future holds Beyond our lives that grow ever so old We take heart in lives that aren't our own In the hours of darkness, only kindred spirits are known Wrap yourself in that armor so tight Twisted and warped with titanic might We know the path lay bare A life lived in longing care Dig profoundly within your mind Do you understand the killing kind? Lovers weep in a tear-less heartbreak Bodies bent, motionless as a bloodless stake Felt deep inside your soul A lovers touch now years old Lean in quietly and remember the earlier period As I lean away only to keep our lives veiled ![]() I forgot how much fun it is to re-write and put on my own twist............~

Holding the brightest candle I'd ever seen
I gained the dearest pal I'd ever need Your heart and words were all I needed to hold A bond like ours with words cannot be told Your life with us was just a stop 'en route' You rested here for only a moment or two But in those moments a treasure, you give out Such lessons, priceless gifts, all parts of you! Though stripped now of my dearest warming sunlight In the darkness I reach and find you every night I miss you dear Buddy.............. I miss your friendship.......... ..... I miss you and will cherish your memory forever. ![]()

Subject: The Dash
In July 2006, a short 3-minute movie was launched on the Internet called The Dash. Since then, over 40 million people from around the world have watched it; and over 20,000 a day continue to watch it as a result of people passing it along. The movie has been more successful than we could have ever imagined. More importantly, however, it has inspired many, many people to reflect on their lives and ask that all important question, 'Are my priorities where they should be?

Remember me when I’m gone Far, far away into the “Silent Land” No more holding me by the hand. Remember me no more…… Tell me of the future you’ve planned If you should forget me for a while, And afterwards remember, do not grieve: Forget the darkness and corruption! Leave a vestige of the thoughts I once had! You should just forget and live life…….. Rather than remember and be sad.

Be good to Yourself............ ..~
Trust yourself.
You know what you want and need. Put yourself first. You can't be anything for anybody else unless you take care of yourself. Let your feelings be known. They are important. Express your opinions. It's good to hear yourself talk. Value your thinking. You do it well. Take the time and space you need.. Even if other people are wanting something from you. When you need something, don't talk yourself out of it. Even if you can't have it, it's ok to need. When you are scared, let someone know. Isolating yourself when you're scared makes it worse. When you feel like running away, let yourself feel the scare. Think about what you fear will happen and decide what you need to do. When you're angry, let yourself feel the anger. Decide what you want to do; just feel it, express it, or take some action. When you're sad, think about what would be comforting. When you're hurt, tell the person who hurt you. Keeping it inside makes it grow. When you have work to do and you don't want to do it, decide what really needs to be done and what can wait. When you want something from someone else, ask. You'll be okay if they say no. Asking is being true to yourself. When you need help, ask. Trust people to say no if they don't want to give. When people turn you down, it usually has to do with them, and not with you. Ask someone else for what you need. When you feel alone, know there are people who want to be with you. Fantasize what it would be like to be with each of them. Decide if you want to make that happen. When you feel anxious, let yourself know that in your head. You've moved into the future to something scary and your body has gotten up the energy for it. Come back to the present. When you want to say something loving to someone, go ahead. Expressing your feeling is not a commitment. When someone yells at you physically support yourself by relaxing into your chair or putting your feet firmly on the floor. Remember to breathe. Think about the message they are trying to get across to you. When you're harassing yourself, stop. You do it when you need something. Figure out what you need and get it. When everything seems wrong, you are overwhelmed and need some comforting. Ask for it. Afterwards, you can think about what you need to do. When you want to talk to someone new and are scared, breathe. Don't start rehearsing, just plunge in. If it doesn't go well, you can stop. If you're doing something you don't like to do, (such as smoking or overeating), Stop. Think about what you really want. If you're stuck and can't think clearly, talk out loud to someone. When you can't think straight, Stop thinking. Feel. When you're in need of love, reach out. There are people who love you. When you're confused, it's usually because you think you should do one thing and you want to do another. Dialogue with yourself or present both sides to a friend. When you feel harried, slow down. Deliberately slow your breathing, your speech, and your movements. When you have tears, cry. When you feel like crying and it's not a safe place to cry, acknowledge your pain and promise yourself a good cry later. Keep your promise. When everything seems gray, look for color. If one of these rules seems wrong for you, talk with it with someone. Then, rewrite it so it fits you. Remember, Be Good To Yourself!

The Prophecy
Wisdom is a gift from The Creator. But so are the quiet hints, or the disquieting shouts. In our drive to measure, quantify, and make certain, we mistake mere knowledge for wisdom, and then lean so much on our own degree of knowledge that we override or dismiss the 'hints' that come from the same source as wisdom.
Our spiritual lives are in such disorder that we aren't listening anymore for the things that come from that Source. As we get our spiritual lives back in order, through prayer, worship, study, and the disciplines, we can once again tune in to the signal drowned out by the static of our lives. The Spirit once again reveals to us what is true. When that happens through another person in a direct way, it is a part of what the Biblical authors meant by 'prophecy'.

Fear of death
"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home." Chief Tecumseh, Shawnee Nation

It's a fine line between an angel's task and the task of a prophet or anyone who brings us a divine truth that we really don't want to hear.
When a man moves away from nature his heart becomes hard. (Lakota)

The first page of your writing reminds me sooo much of my writing. Just like every poem I've written using the same metaphorical precedence, like your tea poem and stuff we both took different paths entirely. I just thought it was funny. I decided I will have to post more of my poetry and stuff on here.
