Poem
Silent lake secrets of a summer’s evening Beyond meadow’s grasses, rustled in bits of expectation Light sparkle of reflected diamonds dance on shimmery pond Cool clear waters delighting the heart of Sister Raccoon and Brother Opossum Devoted forest trees stand guard at her edges Shrouded in astral Godliness, meadow mystique Surrounded by flames of sky diamonds and their mystical promises. There is a breathless expectation remnant on this bank. Illumed by Luna’s prophetic power Whispers of astral shaman and wise woman Surround Woman Who Dares in wondrous moonlight. She closes her eyes, appreciating their sacred melodies Nostalgic moon dance of Lakota ancestors fills her memory Ambivalent feelings and glints of tenderness surround her As she meditates on the hill of her sacred kin Father Owl is waiting to give his signal if there is danger Silhouette shadow of ancient ghostwalker Carefully listens to his goddaughter’s chanting, feeling nostalgic. “Wah Yah Whee Hah, Wah, Yah, Hah,” her chant echoes. Her mother and father join him. “It’s time,” they all agree. Receiving her spirit message, a young brave awakens Knowing he must head toward the pond and her silken grasses. Urgencies of his ancestors and ebbing moon tides command it. Ambivalent feelings and glints of tenderness surround him. He is not from Woman Who Dares tribe, But from a close proximity. He has lightness of foot. Brother wolf, her power animal, waits for the signal, But Brother Owl does not give it, watching with interest. Man Who Would has been sent by moonbeam heart song. Illumined by Ancient Ghostwalker’s ancestors. Stars feldspar bright greet him on his sky travel. Woman Who Dares senses him and chanting stops. He is the most handsome brave she has ever seen. He smiles, and she sees strength of bear, making her breathless. Feels tenderness from his eyes as he gets nearer. Recognizing him instantly from her night visions. Their eyes meet again for the thousandth time, recognizing memories. Bedazzled, they know each other instantly, devoted through many lifetimes. Man Who Would and Woman Who Dares, together again. Brother Owl hoots his approval. Wolves howl. Grasses cheer.
