COWBOY WAKINA
~~~~~
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 Wakina

It’s so lovely

meeting you..
