Two Poems for two weeks…
NATIVE AMERICAN….
DANCING BRAVES
FROM NATURES WOMB
WITH GENTLE SIGHS
AND HAUNTING TUNES
YOU RODE THE PLAINS
WHERE EAGLES SOARED
WHILE CHASING DREAMS
THAT ARE NO MORE
WITH TOTEM POLES
THAT TOUCHED THE SKY
BENEATH THE STARS
EACH NIGHT YOU’D LIE
TO WATCH THE CLOUDS
CARESS THE MOON
AS SEASONS WANDERED
IN GRATEFUL PLUME
THE CAMPFIRE AMBER
WOULD CHASE THE AIR
WHILE ALL AROUND
WOULD PRAISE THE BEAR
BUT HE LIKE YOU
WAS PUSHED ASIDE
SO PICKET FENCES
COULD RESIDE
NO MORE THE BUFFS
WHERE FREE TO ROAM
NOW CAME THE CATTLE
TO TAKE THEIR HOME
BUT GOLDEN SPIRIT
KNOWS YOUR PLIGHT
AND HOPES ONE DAY
TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
FOR YOU SWEET NATURES JOY
Outside the now
Sometimes while I’m in motion
I step outside the now
Reflecting on the universe
And wondering where and how
The stars they go in daytime
The moon it disappears
And why the trees in forests
Play noises in my ears
Why do the restless oceans
Keep beating on the shore
And why do tiny snowflakes
Make patterns on the floor
What makes the smiles on faces
At times just disappear
And leave behind a teardrop
To wash away my fears
Why do a babies giggles
Make me glow inside
And when somebody scares me
Why do I want to hide
Why do I chase each moment
As if it were my last
Reflecting on my future
As it repeats my past
Why do I look to heaven
What do I think I’ll see
Maybe God and all his Angels
Just smiling down on me
