A Voice Among The Clouds

 
 
Her spirit writes the wind
filled with ancient rhyme of nature’s song,
blending the beauty of her native heritage
with a mind seeing the cracks 
in the world’s foundation.

What rises within her caring heart
is a love that flows like a tributary
gracing bountifully so many lives
as she uses her pen
to express the pure essence of life,
sometimes raw and powerful,
but always delving into truths.

A pen wearing her ancestral headdress,
yet pouring forth with visions
astute and clear about what abounds
in shadows and light,
having a voice among the clouds
where she gazes with an eagle’s sight,
expressing the feathers of hope
amid the dawn of any mind.

She holds the sunrise in her images,
paints them upon the pages,
etched in splendor of her wisdom
tinted by deep respect
for all that breathes.

Among the line she shares
are the many meadows where we dwell
within the silence of our dreams,
placing them on a poetic canvas
so we know they are campgrounds
everyone seeks to sleep in serenity’s tent.

  • You create a vivid picture of this person and her idealism and abilities.

    "everyone seeks to sleep in serenity's tent." Wish we could more often.

    Nice write.

  • SO gorgeous!

    This has Carol written all through it!

  • oops

  • Oh penfriend....BBL indeed. This is so beautiful, it makes me cry. I thought I had so carefully tucked away the native voice for this time with The Red Tent, but you know, even as I work on the art or the language, it is there - that connection to First Mothers.

    You are a special friend...you never fail to have me rolling on the floor with laughter, wanting to tell the world how fricken funny you are - and then you go and get serious on me, and I do not want to share a word of it because it is so sacred to me.

    Bravo, dear penfriend! Bravo. I am lucky indeed to call you friend! DDF, albeit!
