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
earthen 2004
