Time and history
Time and history
Finally caught up with this hurricane of my passing of time,
time that has given way to moments of contemplation, reflection,
moments of replication that have permeated my hours, days, weeks,
months since that fateful, September day, when I left the land
of my wayward youth and headed west as a young - old - man.
That fateful day got me caught up in a thunder storm
that lingers heavily over my head, crashing down, crushing,
doing so until January, when its force unleashes its full furry.
Setting off a negative charge, sending its destructive forces
into this journey through what was and the coming of its time.
Time during this period spent in front of my one eyed monster
(( computer monitor )) now lying dormant in the passing of time.
Time that allows me spaces to climb upon and ride words,
words that lay upon paper highways leading back into history.
History of Family warriors going back hundreds of years,
history of a cousin {{ E Pauline Johnson }} Tekahionwake .
