In a sacred circle we gather
those who believe
in dreams...
We come to meditate on
life to find the answers
of our heart
Slumbering under the tree of life
I surrender myself to the beat
of twenty pounding drums...
thump
THump
THUMP
Dropping the cloak of insecurity
I drift away through the portal
of opportunity. My
resting body
takes in spiritual nourishment
Through the darkness,
I find my
way, following the signs that
lead me closer to my destination
twisted trees, screeching owl
I hear nocturnal life breathing
around me, feel the eyes peering
through hidden places.
crisp
crackling
twigs break with each step
deer brush against the canvas
of darkness...
deer brush against the canvas
of darkness...
Shadow people watch from the hollows
of giant oaks , maples and evergreens
fresh scent of pine circles me like a wreath
of pleasure...
Walking in two worlds, to find my true
potential in a landscape of changing
views, the river sings a reflective song
views, the river sings a reflective song
My heart races,
beating to ancient calls
I hear you, the
wolf howls from the cliff
of awareness, offering his guidance
owoooooooooooo
OW00000000000000
OW000000000000000000
Darkness tightens it's noose around the
hanging trees, fear of the unknown
grips me in a changing world
Apparitions dart
between the
huge trunks, chanting a song
breathe, inhale/exhale
I forgive you
I thank you
Ahead the golden crescent moon
shines high above the treetops
shadowy figure steps out of night
approaching me, a
wolf follows
in his steps...
I feel suddenly very small in this large
place of wonder.
Fear of darkness in
the other world worries me, I want
to run, but can't move...adrenaline
flows through my veins....
I step forward to full-fill the dream
quest. The stars
become very bright
illuminating the heavens and my path
In silence I stand before an ancient
dweller. His hair
long, thick & black
with solemn eyes that reach for me
I can see
the scars from the battles
of past lives.
The trees burst into a thousand lights
and my heart sings a song of new life
he offers me a firefly, places it in
my open palm. I cup it to my heart...
The offering of light is mine to carry into
my waking life.
I love you
I forgive you
I thank you
echoes, as I am called back into the sacred circle
bringing with me the gift of light...

author's note: This is a vision that came to me
through meditation, it is what it is, a gift. May
you all carry a piece of light with you in your
journey.
