Hear Me

Calling From My Heart

Hear Me

Sweet, sweet Lightning Girl
How I am so stricken
Electrified by your magic
I am crawling, wanting

dance to return to me

I would walk...
make my way to the powwow grounds and sink

Slip silently into yesterday

Let others think...

wonder about the colors that have changed like the borealis
We saw our colors in the skies

Ever-changing as we dared to walk the edges of this earth,
crying wolf in staccato

In repeat I cried

Darling dear, I tried
To make you believe in me

Sweet, sweet Lightning Girl  
Magic has returned in a vision

Dreams about our dance

Stars streamed across the sky

as we held each other close
Vows were verified in the holiness
of fire, flames of burning passion

Volumes of crying night creatures 
Instigating and lulled
We submitted much too soon

Sweet, sweet Lightning Girl
I know that our nights are dark

The night birds have grown silent

And before the sun sets, let me say...
sweet promises once again
I am warrior, strong yet again
And take water

Wipe the tears from those pretty eyes

Look...look at me and wonder

Test your heart for love

See that I am true

I'm only wanting you
Wanting the sundance to guide our careful hearts

But, there is no such thing as careful
In a world where doves play with ravens

I will take your hand

Make you and the world understand

I have cried, I have soundly lost voice

I have died...inwardly by choice
There is promise
Promise in the sky

I promise
I promise my love to you

Hear me

Calling from my heart

Thank you Tony! I do strive to write more in depth about my Native heritage. I do believe we are all beautiful. But ladies, you are the best.
Peace and love , brother

Tony, it would give me great pleasure. From one poet to another. We can share each other's work. After all, poetry is expression of the soul. Peace and love brother 💯
