I wonder
in the past
did a creator sing
a scientist perhaps
experimental mishaps
an explosion in nothing
and he was killed in the blast
I wonder
an alternate invention
could there be a maker
of this huge universe song
who when bored, moved along
to seek pastures new, a forsaker
and now in a different dimension
I wonder
about the connection
between time and space
only history in the night skies
because how the speed of light flies
and will other life reach our place
maybe that will be our direction
I wonder
about billions of years
we're not even a percent
but we think we're the thing
forever those destined to sing
who think they're heaven sent
passing down DNA of their tears
I wonder
what else shall I do today
get a shower and a bite
then meet a few friends
a joke or talk trends
filling day and night
my part in the play
I wonder...
what do you wonder...
Sacred Dwellers
I am of Native American born
To be caretaker of Mother Earth sworn
I heal with powers, a medicine man
Tribal’s wise supernatural shaman
I am a sacred carved out Totem Pole
To recount familiar legends, a toll
Insightful spirit animals pride in
Taking a part as a loved guardian
I’m the buffalo hunted to survive
Tipis, meat, fur, vital to stay alive
I’m the turtle known as the peacemaker
That’s firm, serene never a forsaker
I am lizard, killing me brings bad luck
The creation story I play, soul struck
I butterfly bringer of dreams, arrange
Transformation and life cycle of change
I the wolf early ancestor of thee
Totem animal, wise, social, and free
Icon salmon renews energy rays
The legend conveys, respect natures ways
* Shaman translation- The word originates from the language of the Tungus people of Siberia. It can directly be translated literally to “one who works with fire”.
* Tipis (teepees)
Willy Whipple was a bread baker
Whose wife thought him a faker.
She called his bread awful
Comparing it to offal.
So Willy did up and forsaker.
There was a stand-up joke maker
Whose act was a crowd shaker.
She was highly hilarious
But found to be nefarious.
Now her fans in hordes forsaker.
