Walk On
Good Morning Granddfather,
I entered this life a ways back,
and put skin on to walk two legged in this Creation.
And what a glorious time it was....
It taught me about breath,
and about sense,
and feeling,
and about caring through my heart.
And I walked on around that Red Road,
Looking and trying to understand more about the mysteries and the secrets She holds.
And You spoke to me through the wind.
And You sang to me through the birds.
And You brought challenges forth so that I might listen to the messages You bring to me more sincerely.
And I kept walking down this road.
And I came around the bend in the middle of that curve in the road,
And I began to find a secret within the spirit of myself.
And still I walked on.
Somtimes blind and deaf.
And somtimes with pain.
But I fought with my fears.
And I embraced my unknowingness.
And my children and family stood with me.
And we came to know each other in those later years more than we had before.
For some of our falseness had fallen away.
And still I walked on.
And I kept walking on this road towards You,
Towards that other world that grew closer with each step.
And as the door of the Great Spirit World came closer,
My fear loomed up inside sometimes.
But, something called me forth.
The Morning Star,
Rose with each day.
My prayer became a centering.
And still I walked on.
Until I began to hear the song of the Mother.
And Her arms embraced me so...
But instead of walking,
She carried me right to the door...
And as the door opened,
I heard Her Song.
And Her song lifted me UP...
So I could SOAR.....
