Who Were You Before Max
My grandson is only three, so I decided to ask
“Who were you before you were Max?”
He began telling me of lifetimes he had lived long ago.
Then his speech turned into gibberish, or so I thought.
I wrote it down anyway, the best I could.
He was chanting and drumming now.
An elderly neighbor, came down to listen.
“That is Cherokee,” he said. “It is our wailing song.”
Where is he getting this? I asked.
Other lifetimes, or from his spiritual guides.
I remembered then we had recently taken a ghost walk.
I wondered now if we had brought someone else home with us.
