Shaman Poems - Poems about Shaman

a shaman of guatemala
I fear the shamans, great or small, I saw one, with long black hair, In a cemetery of the green Guatemala, He danced among the colored tombs, it was inhabited by the spirits of the dead, Better to keep away from this king, I have hidden behind graves, He spoke to the spirits, to the blue ghosts He agitated a sort of burning...

beyond the cartoon spring in Scooby Doo like a stag on a mountain’s rippled rove a dimensional wormhole letting feelings through bringing words of secrets, a couple’s love an instrument whose song comes from within a pluck, the kiss upon the lips my meditation, a distant lawn mowing bring me syllables served in porcelain cups and the shaman knew its cosmic worth a healing...

In Another Galaxy

I come to feel the leaves dancing in...

I did not choose, I was chosen the gate and keeper; killer and cure life not mine for living walking paths you cannot see talking tongues you do not know I am the light burning inside the darkness at the shore that shadow in the corner eyes, windows to be shared extramundane - soul searcher, truth sayer, circle squared I am ancient numinosity no idle curiosity - I...

Conversation With the Park Shaman
A woodhacker rattles like wolf-jaws, A dog's appetite has just died There's blood in those graphite-green curtains Duck Islanders howl of a homicide. There's a murder of crows in The Three Trees, Where the Sky's Ties are tethered away The water's been kissed for the first time And the sun's lips have no more to...

Forest Shaman
Was tree cutting on the island North of the last logging camp I was a young faller for the company That didn’t have a heart Thought I knew what I was doing Thought I was doing no wrong But then the Northern Lights appeared And sang me magic songs “Save me from the dying Save me from the death The old growth is crying But cannot...

Dreams of the Shaman David J Walker It was the Prairie version of Eden In the evening light Awaiting the day exposing the Cover of Buffalo Grass Its flag-like banners of male flower Flying in the morning dew Guarding the female blooms Hidden amongst the leaves Rounded and burr-like but not spiny The fauna is dense but unseen Prairie Dogs bark out...

She was a wise woman, a natural being, a female shaman Her magical ways were known by most, especially the Lakota We came to her for truth, guidance, spiritual wisdom. The men revered her as much as the women, maybe more. She had a connection with the Great Spirit most do not garner. Respected and revered, we trusted her to...
