I met some old friends who spoke to me in a whisper. Their voices came to me though the expression in their eyes,their images recorded on paper.They spoke of their hopes , they pass onto us, they spoke of their dreams they bought. They said , walk together ,hold hands , plant many trees and bring back our forests,look after the birds and animals and learn from their wisdom. Put your foot down gently on the earth and know its home.Sit down quietly and listen to the air.Lay down at night and share our dreams. The circle of life will come to me us again.
I,ll go back and listen some more.
