Thoughts.com Blogs - Remembering wise words

My heart smiled as I was able to talk in voice conference in yahoo IM with my friend 'm' he often sends me prints postally of anything to do with native americans, he himself is wolf totem and, have had the pleasure of knowing him online for nearly 10 years, he is a blessed soul who has suffered much pain also, albeit he is 17 years older than I, so, it was lovely to chat to him and freely and at no cost online again.
Most of my dearest friends, I have known from the internet realm are since 1991 - a long time..soft smile.
the more recent, are within the last ten years at my chat site and, the friendships/relationships filter to rt.
It has brightened me so much, to know there are true people out there still, who, have minds of their own and are not led and can see the light too on certain things, thank heck.
[am also dearly hoping this entry is somewhat clearer and easier to read than my last, but, being in pain and the subject matter, along with the facct it was written on and off over 3 days on word, I am sure most understood and, at the moment, I am in 'control' of my emotions/depression this afternoon.]

On a darker note,
I am deeply saddened as only a short while ago, I found out yet another person, someone kind and funny, a good soul, has left here..soft sigh.. it did make me feel weepy as I know they did at one time like it here and, I know I will miss them, least most will keep in touch, but, none the less, it hurts to know people, the nice ones that have done no harm, have felt the need to leave.

Gentle nod and smile and, on that note, I want to leave you this that I penned about someone very close to myself, before the falcon flew and guided them to the Summerlands;

"I want to tell you something" he said
- as he laid upon his bed -
His frail old bones so tired now
His hair all gone from his head

I smiled at him with his weathered face
His hand reaching mine with such tender grace
My heart wrapped in his as I searched his eyes
Words interrupted by breathless sighs -

"I've lived my life with an open eye
And have been so inspired as the days have gone by.
I made a promise when I was your age
That I'd never be kept within a locked cage"

- This man whom I'd loved my entire life through
Was about to teach me something new
So I squeezed his hand a little tighter
Knowing him as my 'Heroic Fighter' -

"Each day of your life, each moment you live
Keep finding your Inspiration". He said
His face came alive as he smiled at me
Laying upon his sun drenched bed -

"You'll know in your heart for you'll be lifted higher
And warmth will surround your soul
- Remember to let Inspiration be free
For then you will reach your goal"

His words meant a lot when he spoke that day -
And it seemed my life changed in some kind of way -
Now I stand and remember that man, the one who inspired me so
His words, not lost, did well to help me grow.

-
I have said it before and I will sayy it again, we are all equals and, kindness, compassion and thoughtfulness never hurt anyone, so show it and give it.
Blessed be.
Love & Light
