Poem
Where sunless river weeps and waves into the deep Please awake me not as I sleep very charmed sleep. Have many a names in different cultures world over Boann, Anqet, Mujaji, talaya, Lelawala, & Tsoninar Native American know me as Lelawala goddess of rain My father married me off to a king as I was fair maiden But my true love was He-No, the god of great thunder Lurking in cave under *Horseshoe Falls of Niagara water. Paddling a canoe on the Falls, was swept off the Falls Luckily He-No caught me while falling down the Falls. Here happily I and He-No live in the caves of Niagara That’s my story and now is time for me to get to action. Watch me on my favorite horse Backahasten or Ashrays Falling from the great heights clinging to dewy softness Lo! My grasp gives way and feel free to fall through air My brothers and He-No with me I no longer have fear. The sun peeks out above, the rays pierce from top to toe Amazed to see an array of colors forming the rainbow My flight continues on, the wind moves me side by side Wait no more to find what lies as I complete this ride. The earth is near and the air feels warmer all around I dance from leaf to leaf and fall softly to the ground Hand in hand with buddy drops glide the wet terrain A mighty stream I am now and no more a drop of rain. * I have placed a picture of the Horseshoe Falls, The American side of Niagara on my blog photos.
