Natural Art

Native artists gave the spirit world voice
Gods of nature speak though their art
Wings steadily raised in supplication
The spirit world and man not far apart

So true; so true. Western man tends to view the separation as a yawning chasm---perhaps because he is so out of touch with himself... :) gw

I agree. The two worlds are never far apart. It is us who refuse to see. Far and beyond, they watch us. Nice poetry Barbara, xo
