King of Hurly burly
       sovereign of wrongdoings,
       Shaman of harm,
        relative of arrogance,
       executioner of silence......

I balance myself on eternity ---
Like an acrobatic shaman ---
As time settles upon my shoulders ---
So I steady myself with redemption ---
As fate watches safely from below....

On a northern night,
In an ojibway village.

The Shaman,
Shared his ceremonies,
With me.

He let me in,
On sacred secrets.

Not because,
I am native.
But,
Because,
I was worthy....

Dressed in a loin cloth,
his face and body painted, 
he chants and dances wildly
round the fire to drum beat...
the student lawyer's weekend job.

Thursday, nightmare, continue

I have lived before

Through seeds of time eternal -

And you've come for soul's healing?

The balm comes not from me

All you need is get drunk from love.

If gloom descends; Capsicum appends:
Removing dooms in plumes of red lumens. 
Biological conversion from stagnation to movement. 
Shaman, brother, lover, friend.
Bold holistic resolute. 
Unequivocally coalesced in this; a magnificent fruit....

A local shaman
         sits still in a trance-like state,
          attempting to drive a ghost
        from a quaint haunted house.
An angry response - house trembling!

no, the instrument
not the president

jews harp, jaw harp
plucked from thy heart

by the shaman heals
meditation steals

its rhythms
across realms

eventualities
and through centuries

tricked by its old name lure
tricked by its sound, nature

jewes trump for a king
heck why not, a politician

"Flow" 

Flow with the tide turning 
mind speaks to heart
let go let go 

turning tide with the flow
heart speaks to mind
let's go let's go 

come Life, 
dance us home

A Shaman's mind, 
shinning visions and resurrected petroglyphs
wild horses running on a plain of stars
stick figures bringing down a behemoth
sitting 'round a story pit, souls touching flame afar
searching chanting embers for drumbeats waning
a procession floating into lavender canyon.. dreaming
pinwheels dancing along the sky and sea....

Dream catcher made of turtle shell
Elemental magic, soul bringer, dream walker
Enlightens papoose, savoring his knowing smile.

Grandfather Shaman feeds the fire
Whose pleasure to warm is well-known in teepees.
Tribal spirit faeries hide in furs 

Braves will return tomorrow 
Hopefully from a good hunt.
Innocent ones sleep soundly,
Unworried, on small pox blankets....

To Shaman Aboriginals
"Dreamtime" was the virginity
Of the earth
Before the dirt
Was soiled by humanity

Using crystals or their bare feet
They harness the earth's energy
To channel the grid
Over which we live
To balance and restore harmony


(Austrialian Aboriginals)

I once met a farmer,
Who showed me the plains.
“What is this beauty?”
And he told me her name.

I once met a shaman,
He lived in forests of rain.
“What is this beauty?”
And he told me her name.

I once met a sailor,
Who showed me the waves.
“What is this beauty?”
And he told me her name.

So when I met you,
I was struck by your face.
“Who are you?”
And you told me your name....

I don't know anyway to love you
 Than the way I do
 I tried to call the four winds
 they weren't enough
 I've traveled a dusty lane
 And visited a shaman 

All in the search for clarity 

I don't know anyway to show my love
 I grasped at stars
 And fumbled a galaxy
 I watched a night bloom
 As the last ray of day died
 In supplication I knelt
 
Reverently I show my love
 The only way I know how...

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 see the end...

the seeing child 
exotic and special
an old soul

she had a history
unknown to those unenlightened
understood by the others

she saw well beyond her flesh years
the villagers flocked to her
asking for her advice

she was the shaman of their village
at earth age eight
understanding better than most

sharing a soul past
with those who would listen
more often those who were willing to hear...

Euphoric hope spills
                                        from my eyes gleaming with love,
                                                  ambrosial shaman enchants
                                                         aching sobs of my son;

I see him mourn next to my corpse.

MARS...

The Shaman and the Planet Mars,
Gazing in wonder amid the stars,
Arms raised in worship, 
Universe the Navajo church,
Ancient marvels to behold,
The human race timeless and old,
From Mars to Earth,
Did spaceships give berth?
Ramses' face on Mars,
Pondering Ptolemies from afar.
The Shaman honour singing,
Future and past aligning,
Gazing in wonder amid the stars,
The Shaman and Planet Mars....

(fiction)
Light as day
Sun beams it's heat all over the land
Night as darkness
Moon shines it's glowing light
Mountain wolves comes out for a treat
When it gaze in to the mirror waters
He sees me  and becomes a woman best friend.
My pet he becomes, like a native women with a pet wolf
Together forever to be my guide.
For we are both one protector of thy kingdom
A women with it's spirit pet wolf shaman as it guide....
