Whispers of the Desert Spirits

You are currently viewing Whispers of the Desert Spirits
In twilight gentle, whispering shade, The shadows dance, the sunlight fades,
With each breath, the earth does sigh, Beneath the vast and endless sky.
Among the peaks where eagles soar, The ancient rocks, they tell their lore,
Whispers of the past echo near, In the stillness, all becomes clear.

Soft winds carry tales of old, Of courage fierce, and warriors bold,
In secret trails and hidden glens, The spirit roams, and never ends.
Beneath the stars, cold and bright, The hearth feels warm, a guiding light,
Stories woven in the fires glow, Teach us all we need to know.

Moonlit rivers, wild and free, Flowing to the endless sea,
Their journeys rhyme with our own, To seek, to find, to be alone.
The cedar trees, ancient and wise, Reach upward, touching moonlit skies,
They whisper truths to those who hear, In their embrace, we lose our fear.

Fields of sage, fragrant and true, Hold a scent of morning dew,
Each leaf a page in natures tome, Guiding wanderers back home.
In unity with earth and sky, Our souls soar, our spirits fly,
Through the land where we belong, We walk the path, forever strong.

Oliver Stone, a pen name, is an author deeply influenced by Apache wisdom and the natural world. Born in Silver City, New Mexico, his life journey includes service in the Marine Corps and a career in non-profit management. Stone's connection to Apache teachings began in his childhood, as his father was fortunate to learn from Tahoma Whispering Wind, a revered Apache elder, during his time at Mary Himes' Poor Folks Farm in Dry Creek. This ancestral link to Tahoma's wisdom ignited Stone's lifelong passion for Apache philosophy and practices. Drawing from his father's teachings and his own diverse experiences, Stone now dedicates himself to bridging ancient Apache knowledge with modern-day challenges through his writing. His work, including "Spirit of the Wild: Reconnecting with Nature's Wisdom," aims to help readers reconnect with nature, find inner peace, and live harmoniously with the earth, reflecting the deep respect for nature and interconnectedness central to Apache philosophy.
