Last night when I was getting off work, I caught a glimpse of them was off to the west… It was like one of those deals where it just looked like they were purposely waving and saying hello…. so I curtseyed and bowed, giggled like a school girl as I said, “Hey” and got in my car and drove home from work..

all the time noticing that in their giggling laughter, from time to time I could see them lighting up… It was fun..

It took them 1 and 1/2 hours to arrive here, blew in with such a fury (way up high) that things, gum tree balls began to fall at such a rate I thought it was hailing… and limbs started crashing down on my roof also…. quite an announcement they made as they arrived….. and then they danced all around me…. It was quite spectacular as I realized again it was the tribal dances who had arrive and ware passing by…..

so funny… so silent were they.. in all their noise… in all their dance..

It was always about surrender

Oh how do I make the jump from here to there?
To land with footsteps fair
Upon the place
Where my spirit danced to walk in moccasin’d feet
Where I found no one to treat me weird
Because I hugged a tree or held Earth sacred to me,
Or because I watched the signs
One Eagle going in
Two Eagles going out
after I had spent a whole weekend
Dancing in the shadows
Moving from tree to tree
Blowing them kisses
Touching my nose to their leaves
Til the message came in
That Great Spirit had a gift he wanted to give me
That required the surrender
Of everything I knew felt and believed
About how exactly it was going to happen
That love would touch my heart

Dancing on waves of anticipation
I set out upon my journey
And noting 2 Eagles going out
I surrendered
To the path of being led
And listened carefully
To everything Great Spirit said
Inside my head
While I was given very specific
instructions on what to do next..

I surrendered
To no longer walk the path
As I thought I was supposed to walk it
But listening to the voice within
I laid aside everything
I knew as the way to proceed from here
And surrendered my all
To the path I was given to take.

It was a picture,
Just a picture
Of a cloud so fair
With dancing lights within her belly
And one lone lightning bolt coming down
To kiss the Earth with such a fury
The vehicle which it struck
A truck
Became all engulfed in light

It was just a picture
Dancing lights within her belly
As I sat staring at
I hear a simple command,
“Blow her a kiss”

Two fingers upon my lips,
To lay them softly
Upon the picture
I sat staring at
While listening to the inner instructions
Surrendering
My all
I hear again,
“Blow her a kiss”

So soft upon my lips
I make the kiss
And touch her softly there
Upon her belly
Of dancing lights
While one lone lightning bolt
Reaches down and
Touches the ground
With such a force
I can almost hear its
Thunder Song

And again
I hear the sound
of Great Spirit speaking within
Instructing me for 3rd time
To kiss the cloud

My name is Maureen, SacredDeerSister. Maybe you wouldn’t mind if I put some of your pictures to my poetry?

I have another one, called it Cowboy Wakinyan.. here it is

COWBOY WAKINYAN

Footsteps so far apart

I am awakened

To hear you

In your great walk

across the Earth.

One loud thundering

BOOM

Comes crashing down

outside my window

So loud and near

I jump up from my sleep

and wait to see

If you knocked out the

electricity,

to find how gracefully

you moved,

to step so close

in sacred gate

your crashing sound

all around,

one footstep

in the night

and then begins

your song.

Traveling in slow

crackling movements

Across the sky,

I am mesmerized

By your dance,

by the feel

Of goddess,

your lines stretch out

in twist and turns

while my fingers trace the

Patterns of

Rivers

upon body of Sacred Earth

And without even picking up my finger

The second chorus of the dance begins

And again I find I trace the lines

Of sacred dance between us

The way you move across the land

While I think, where will your next footstep land

As the whole movement of the song

Tarries on

I wait in anticipation

To see where you have gone

And find footsteps

So far apart

I can only hear the one

And thus begins the third

Verse in side the song

That seems to now be circling around me

For forty five minutes

I watched your song

Inside my mind

Tracing all the lines

That came from that one footstep.

Movements circling around

In a never ending song

I came to realize

I am staring

Into the design

of all the intricate

lines that make up

the uniqueness

of your cowboy boots

You are

Cowboy Wakinyan

It’s so lovely

meeting you..
