Apostle of Native Americans

As a boy he read a lot of their stories.
At eleven he started to write two prose books
about them and he taught himself to swim their way.
At seventeen he walked alone for ten days
through the forests of Holy Cross Mountains
to bond himself with nature.

God saved him many times in his journeys.
After High School he studied theology 
for two years in monastery to solve
metaphysical quests about existence,
then he immigrated to Native Americans’ land,
thinking he will meet them, but alas

their physical World was shattered.
Spiritually you are mighty people
of almighty God, creator of all,
who will recompense you for all suffering.
I know this apostle, he is acquainted with our God –
metaphysical poet he is.
