A Balancing Act

To Shaman Aboriginals
"Dreamtime" was the virginity
Of the earth
Before the dirt
Was soiled by humanity

Using crystals or their bare feet
They harness the earth's energy
To channel the grid
Over which we live
To balance and restore harmony


(Austrialian Aboriginals) 

Received 11th place in "The Shaman's Way" contest

I can hardly believe I had never read this one before. I thought i'd seen all your poetry, Susan. Glad this contest showed me otherwise. Sorry this didn't do better. It's really nice.

Hi Susan so glad you worked on an entry and this subject is very facinating. I wanted to let you know these are not limerick's the form is metered and is a comedic form often even crass humor, also you have some time expand on the theme a bit more what do the Believers look like? what do they say dreamtime looks like? [for a form simply put verse] Light & Love
