The Patience Of The Stones ~*Marge Tindal*~  Mountains in the making layered in the bloodshed of ancient times One had to lay a good story down to build the mountain Now unearthed through the erosion of time the mountainside in slide revealing ... What was forged in the making cannot be forever hidden Shame ... cannot be forever blamed but we must understand the patience of the stones In the shifting and unveiling that which the moon-over spirits would have us know Not the way the history books would have us believe for the true stories were written at the base of the mountain then compounded layer after layer We need only understand the patience of the stones in sacred-keep of legends now revealed for sharing Look unto the mountains - these hills of yesterday The seeking path to tomorrow's peace is mapped in understanding the patience of the stones ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Wonderful premise, beautifully woven...I am thinking that paring it down could make it extremely powerful...not fewer lines, but lines of fewer words, leaving only the essential. Now how to do this...find someone good at 'less is more' or 'minimalism' Your subject, your premise, that wonderful title are well worth giving this every bit of focus it needs. I love it! |

The shame will be revealed through the patience. As with everything hidden, it always comes back to haunt you, and this will all be discovered in time...only a matter of time. Marge, your presentation and your choice of words (which also are to perfection by the way), show the heartfelt thought you put into this piece, into the home library this goes. Thank you for writing, it truly touches my spirit. Favorite line: One had to lay a good story down to build the mountain. [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 03-31-2001).] |

Doreen~ Thank you for simply enjoying what I write in the manner I write it. VAS~ You are forgiven for your lack of understanding. Michael~ Thank you for your thoughtful reply. There is great wisdom among the layers of the mountain ... Mysteria~ My friend ... you know I sit the Vision Quest for these gems to fill the vessel of my sharing. Thank you for your understanding of this piece. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Wonderfully written and illustrated my friend. If only those stones could talk and tell the stories of the things they've seen . . . then we'd all know the way it really was. Great writing!!  Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
