Pow Wow's Around The World

WELCOME TO PAGE 2 OF MY SPIRITUAL POETRY

The Nature Dance

The moon danced on the shadow's soul,

The sky wept for a while,

Halted by the rainbow's magic kiss,

Which melted the sun's raging smile.

'Twas time to dance for nature,

Round a timely lunar lit fire,

Their somgs produced emotion,

Whirling conscious minds up higher.

Not a single body trapped by clothes,

The music louder grew,

Deep in the woods, some wondered

What these mere mortals knew.

On they floated until sunrise,

In their own hypnotic trance,

Other-worldly elementals

Came to join them in their dance.

Today the dance is almost over,

Yet if you're lucky you may find,

One evening when the moon is full,

Dancers with the trees entwined.

MISTLETOE MEMORIES

That time of year is here again,

The chill that brings jack frost,

The meaning of this festive time

Has been a long time lost.

The gifts beneath the laden tree,

Have lost their meaning too,

The love that is fading all around,

Hearts lay tired, cold and blue.

The children don't sing carols,

Except for their own gain,

No snowy carpet on the ground,

Just misery and rain.

The pretty decorations

Just keep on falling down,

Instead of smiling faces

It's the style to wear a frown.

People everywhere are eating,

Not for hunger but to take,

While others starve and suffer

For economics sake.

This festive season used to bring

The world closer together,

But soon goodwill and friendship

Will be trampled on forever.

All that's left of old tradition,

Is the mistletoe and holly,

And people have to drink too much

Before they can be jolly.

At last when families come together,

A spark of thoughtfullness returns,

Peace and love come out of hiding,

As the yule log brightly burns.

Of Dragons And Faery Folk

Many moons ago you roamed the Earth,

Guarding sacred caves and tors,

Your fire breathed fear into hearts of man

In this mystic realm of yours.

How could they slay such beauty?

They failed to understand,

You would not have harmed them,

Though they tried to claim your land.

Those who understood you

Had long since fled to other planes,

Human destruction of this planet,

The only future they saw in your flames.

Once revered, then mocked,

Now their existence just denied,

Working with nature as their ally,

On the winds of time they'd ride.

Like you they heard the Earth groan,

The tormented trees that cried,

Felt the sorrow in the wind's whispers,

And the panic in the tide.

Now emerging from the shadows,

Like the hope and beauty in your eyes,

Invisible help is changing us,

Before our planet dies.

SILVER WINGS

I see you gracefully dancing

Just beyond my scattered field of vision.

I hear your soft fairy music,

The tinkle of otherworldly realms

Echos in the vibrating night.

Enchanting, alluring, beckoning,

Out of sight, yet never far,

Riding the wind and surfing our dreams,

Tempting us with your visions and knowledge.

I feel your every fear, your every wish,

Your hopes for humanity

And the races that exist

Under that cloak of illusion.

Gazing into your youthful soul,

Watchful, magic eyes rest

Upon our earthly bodies

As you dance in the moonlight.

Are you real? Or creeping out

From the far reaches of my imagination,

My twisted memory

Of a lifetime long ago?

Enticing me into your fantasy realm,

Spinning your never-ending story,

As you float past, weaving, whirling,

Drawing me ever closer into your silver thread.

Will we join you in your eternal dance,

Or shut you out and refuse to believe?

For there is magic in believing,

How you flutter in and out of our existence,

Touching our imagination with your delicate wings.

Braiding your tales of enchantment,

As the beat of your silvery wings

Draws the moonlight ever closer to Earth,

Delicately wrapped around your silky shadows.

Weaving your thread of otherworldly charms

Upon our scarred world,

Healing our mother as you fly

With your soft, rainbow light.

I hear your fragile heartbeat,

Oh, won't you teach us

How to touch the sweet earth,

Brush her with our love

And mend her with our boundless, wasted energy.

SEA OF HOPE

Take me on a journey

Beneath the sea of hope,

Where angels ride the dolphins

Down life's awe-inspiring slope.

Where coral castles looming,

Inviting dreams to haunt,

And whirlpool mindstreams melt

Into tornados, luck to daunt.

The mighty whale just watches,

Eternal wisdom dancing in his eyes,

The gentle dolphin holds the key

To man's existence in his cries.

Beyond the sands of time

Dimension's tide will carry earth,

Can Gaia save herself

For a peace showered rebirth?

Take me on a journey,

That sea of hope to find,

Hiding in our future,

In the shadows of my mind.
