- Once Upon a Time -

Out of love foretold
in thousands
secret raptures from the old
Illusions coves for their powerful voices
A place where our ancestors once walked

Where trees listening
and disperse seeds of hope
Creation marvelous portrait
About the harmony - it is said
that it can develop strong band

It is a reality that can
compare with the wildest imagination
Ancient villages built of marble and stone
Wind chimes a rhythm that beckons
Mystery melody that asks us to join

Nice to read your verse today. I will return after the first of the year to hold contests and have prizes. The circle of writers that I usually read, you were among whether I gave comment to or not. I'm different. Not really here for the most popularity contest, that would be my boyfriend at one time.. take care, reading a brand new circle of writers, I've been here awhile. I'll make my way back a day hopefully :) Thanks for your kind words on my poetry, I try to avoid remarks...

Wonderful Anne Lise! all living entities emit vibrations (soul communication) and deserve equal respect...tho man has intellect, does not mean our vibrations are superior...Native American culture understands this...western culture does not....more humans are awakening to this harmonious truth, is it in time? hard to predict, we are in a 2-years time period of monumental change in mankind's history, love is the answer, jmg
