Emerald Ramage Poem
I'm the flicker, the flame, the spark when you can't see,
I'm the moonlight in the dark, a mystery.
I'm the rustling in the leaves, the breeze and the trees,
And maybe the wolf's howl on the wind whispers, "That's me."
A long, drawn-out sound, both wild and free.
My roots run deep, a Cherokee decree,
And when I stomp the earth, its strength flows into me.
The river flows onward, a path my spirit knows.
Where in its cool depths my true reflection shows.
I don't know if I'm the beautiful wolf or the woman,
Yet, I know I have them both running through my veins.

Emerald Ramage Poem
THE SUN
"I hate it here," says the sun,
"I shine too bright.
My endless burning's never done,
You get to glide in the velvet nigt."
THE MOON:
"Your fiery voice I hear so plain,"
The Moon then whispered, soft and low,
"I paint the world with silver stain,
And secrets of the darkness know."
THE STARS (COLLECTIVE VOICE):
The stars blinked slowly, far and high,
"Your fleeting worries reach our ears,"
"We've watched emotions ebb and die,
And seen a universe of tears."
THE CONSTELLATIONS:
The ancient patterns, linked and bright,
"We are the shapes you learn to name,"
"A solace in the endless night,
A timeless, celestial game."
POLARIS (THE NORTH STAR):
From its high perch, so calm and fixed,
Polaris mused, "Your plights I note,
In the grand order, all is mixed,
Each plays a part, however remote."
THE WIND:
A murmur rose, then swirled and sighed,
"I roam the earth, I sweep the sea,
I've heard the planet's heart confide,
And every whisper comes to me."
NIGHT ITSELF:
Then Night unfurled, a calming drape,
"I gather all beneath my sway,
Offering weary souls escape,
From the harsh rigors of the day.
"THE EARTH
A rumbling voice from field and stone,
"I am the stage for all your play,
Your light and shadow I have known,
And welcome each returning day."
