THE SEEKER OF SOULS

The valley of Fire beckons to the spirit of a man
For it is filled with the Spirits of men.
They Soar high above the canyon walls
Vigilant,
Protectors,
They watch,
They wait,
For the offering of the tear of sincerity.
Then and only then will they reveal their presence
To the seeker of souls.

The seeker must Listen,
Hear,
Feel,
Experience,
The strength of the warriors as they gather to council.
Thunderous cries fall to silence upon the dry desert wind.
The voices of many become as the voice of one,
This is Holy Ground.
Two shall meet,
Heartbeat to heartbeat,
Soul to Soul.

The journey has begun.
Hold to the hand of your Spirit guide,
And learn to soar as the mighty Eagle
Do not tread upon the shadows of the canyon as a fool.
It is a mystical place.
Set free your soul, and hear the echoes of eternity,
Enter that, which is known,
As the Valley of Fire...
