Shadows On the Land

A deep and lasting peace has been disturbed by the winds of our time Shadows on the land For every postcard you send out during this time of cool winds You will receive and answer It may not be the answer you wanted But know that the sun, moon, and stars Are all on your side Far distant galaxies are calling your NAME

Since childhood, I have heard the galaxies beckoning, Matthew. This is beautifully written -- man in relationship to the universe. Indeed, the "winds of our time" are often disturbing, but we send out messages seeking answers. Quite a compelling and very thought-provoking poem! Excellent write - it goes to my faves. Love, Carolyn

Matthew, Astrology and the alighnment of the planets do play a big part of our lives. It affects water and tieds. It is said birth of babies and even mental illness due to the shift of water masses in the brain "Far distant galaxies are calling your name" does say alot More than some may realize. Didn't Cher sing that "Cherokee People at one time. I have other Native American poetry on VoicesNet.com. Do keep up the writting Matthew. I did like this one very much..
