I wasn't gonna post this originally, well, at least not in this forum. But there's a person I wansta read this (winnieee ^_^) It's about an angel who waits for us to come so she can take us home.

It's...not the best, "poem" wise, more like prose...But I kinda like it :)

She went into the
Valley of Forever, and she waited in there.
Time there is crisp and promising, lingering
where there is Dark is before the Dawn. And there she
Waits for her Daughter, and
her Daughter’s daughters and sons,
and those of theirs and those after theirs and for
Forever is where they went.

She was and
Is
the Mother, and she waits patiently for
The rising of the Sun, and for when Her Daughter will join Her there.
Then they will walk into the Valley of Forever for forever,
and rejoice: The sun will shine, and
the Mother will lead her Daughter,
And the Mother will lead the way.

Here's one you'll like. I once looked after a little 2 yo girl. She just about died( or maybe she did?) when she woke up, her mother said, "hi honey"and she said..hi mommy, Where's my other mommy. Mom asked" what other mommy?" she said" my other mommy up there."
This was not a religious family in any way. They are still doing well here
on this plane.

That's amazing! What a great story.

I feel kind of embarrassed tho >_< This was written about a spirit who lived in a tree I once knew. The spirit's name was Mother Nora. I went back to see this tree after not seeing it in about 15 years, and they cut her down. I like to think she's waiting for me as an angel and we'll be together again. I really miss her :(

Thank you for commenting; what an amazing story!!

Spirit trees (tree spirits)are amazing. Lots of native lore around spirit trees. I hold them as real as human I think. maybe more so.Maybe they are all one? The Cree of the canadian prairie answer spirit calls by honouring a tree that speaks to them. They offer the tree tobaccco to nourish her roots. I feel your tree spirit is aware of how you have honoured her with your beautiful poem. Take it to a new tree and I think you will find comfort there too. Namaste my friend.

I had a dream back in December about Mother Nora. She told me she was going to come back into another tree. I do not know if Tree Spirits do this, but I do know all of the Earth is connected.

So I went out to The Cypruss Lady's Grove (a tree I was attached to upon moving to California, and who was murdered two years ago) to see the Saplings. There is a tree there I call "Ole Man Burral" but I do not feel connected very much with him; but something is inside him too, I just haven't found him yet. He'll come to me when he is ready.

Anyways, I was walking around looking at the saplings for anything that could "feel" like Nora. She gave me a very good feeling deep inside my spirit; and there was a tree there I had never seen with the saplings before. It had a great feeling! I go and talk to it every now and then. She's a baby Alder. I call her Daughter-My-Nora. I really hope someday I can get attached to her as I was attached to Nora.

I don't know if you saw it, but I wrote a story about when they cut Nora down. I didn't know they cut her down until I went back to WA and to my old school and found a huge mound of dirt--no stump, even! I was devastated. But through this experience I feel like there is a spirit guiding me to well-being, and I have been doing much better with my Tourette’s and my agoraphobia (fear to leave house/be social,) is 85% gone! I'll show you the link:

I will be attending a Creative Writing Class and I will be writing more about my adventures and spirit adventures with Nora there. I'm so glad you understand how special these Beings are. Namaste! to you, my friend; may the Goddess bless you and keep you well!
