I know not why this thought was introduced
to me. I was going along just fine, and then I heard a
man say that he was lonely. And for one brief second I
said, yes I am lonely too.. Then a second guy stepped
forward and said he was lonely. That same night, the
third man stepped forth and said he was lonely too... and I
thought, how odd that I am hearing this now.
I went on about my journey. There
is a river here where I live, the Ouachita, and I had seen a
sign that said something like white river rapid. It was
70 degrees outside and beautiful so I went to check it out.
This is the poetry from my experience listening to the River
talk to me. Mother /Father said I was to share it here.
They did not say why, but if they feel it honors them, I share
this experience here:
and I felt completely free to be me...
No
one there to observe me
talking to the trees or the seed pods,
exploring this world I had never seen before.
No
one saw when the rock called out to me
'crawl onto me and get on all fours.'
looking out with innocence
across the white water rapid
but right here where I was
with a stick pointing out for me
the sounds against the shore
of
water lapping its edge
running along the shore line playing
and a blue heron called out to me..
bid me notice the clam shells
which I gathered at the tree
It
had fallen from a tree
and was laced with a plant
I
know not her name, or his
a
water vine covered her,
right there by the Stone people
she danced within his waters.
Then it touches me softly on my leg,
so
I bend down to acknowledge it..
and I continue on my merry journey
playing at the rivers edge..
with a stick telling me to look in a certain direction....
and the blue heron flying over,
it is so beautiful what they
(the water and the stones) are saying
that I drop a tear into the water of the river..
and acknowledge that it is speaking to me..
I
can now hear a great talk
coming from the white water rapid..
Thought I would go talk to them
and as I went to leave that spot
the lace filled limb grabs me
as
a cat holding a tree limb...
Get to the grand water rapid
and this little lace covered limb tells me,
will come right over to you.'
And there was no one there but me
and the river to see that
I
had now become the tree
and the words that they sang
it
twas a rock and roll song
smiling at me from underneath the waters..
Moving closer to hear more,
my
lace filled limb touches me
and see the birds that come overhead..
Touch my nose to the lace filled limb,
thank you for pointing this out to me.
His beauty out there is astounding
I
knew not what kind he was,
had pointed him out to me.
to
dance nose to skin of tree,
this song of love runs deep inside.
Father Sky, Mother Earth,
you touch me softly there.
Birds spiraling through the wind currents,
such beauty alive up there in the sky.
I
return back to my stance
of
standing one with the tree
to
look out with eyes of love
slips gently across my face
then slips its finger inside my mouth
Oh
you sweet delectable flower
why do you now come inside my mouth
mesmerized by your feel against my lips
it
makes me feel so pretty
to
see your attraction to me
to
have you touch me there.
Soft feel of lace upon my face
with voice so strong inside my head
I
am lonely for the one who would understand why I have now
become merged with this tree, to feel this lace that covers
me. I am lonely for the one who understands, why I came
here to be who I am
I am lonely for the one who would see me standing here
merged with this tiny broken limb and understand why the
whole tree has now come inside of me. I am lonely for the
one who understands why I came to walk through this world
like I do
I am lonely for the one who would understand why I hold
this tree, though no else can see. Little branch clutched
tight against my heart I am lonely for the one would
understand how I came to be.
I am lonely for the one would understand go on all fours
and merge with my cat and run along the rivers edge and
listen to the sound of the water lapping there. I am
lonely for the one who would understand this belief I walk
with 2 feet.
I
am listening to the sound of river now
to
his voice inside my soul
to
the deep bass sound of the drum,
looking for the words inside the sound
I
AM LONELY FOR THE ONE WHO WILL UNDERSTAND, HOW I CAN BE THE
PERSON I AM. HOW I CAN WALK THIS WALK AND TALK THIS TALK
AND GIVE SO MUCH PASSION TO THE MISSION I CAME HERE FOR.
I
AM LONELY FOR THE ONE WHO WILL UNDERSTAND. I AM LONELY FOR
THE ONE WHO WILL LOVE ME AS I AM. I AM LONELY FOR THE ONE
WHO WILL UNDERSTAND WHY I AM STANDING HERE MERGED WITH THIS
TREE INSIDE OF ME, EVEN AS YOU TALK TO ME. I AM LONELY FOR
THE ONE WHO WILL UNDERSTAND THE BEAUTY I FIND IN THE LACE
UPON HER FACE, THE FEEL OF THE BLEND OF HIM AND HER
listening to the roar of his great waters
to
the beat of his great drum
to
the treble of the white water dance,
and mesmerized I am entranced
to
hear his rock and roll love song.
I
AM LONELY FOR THE ONE WHO WILL UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN HEAR
THIS LOVE SONG THIS RIVER IS SINGING TO ME. I AM LONELY FOR
THE ONE WHO WILL LOVE ME FOR ME. I AM LONELY FOR THE ONE
WHO WILL WALK BESIDE ME, WHO WILL LIFT ME UP IN MY MISSION.
WHO WILL KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT
His passion is unbelievable here
he
roars in his great dance
then he instructs me to lay my tears upon his water
to
lay my tears upon her lace
tuck her gently into the stone rock crevice
then turn and leave this place
So
I laid my tears upon her body
laid my tears upon his waters
tucked her into the arm of his stone rock crevices
and turned and left this place.
I
MISS THE FEEL WHEN WE WALKED AS ONE.
COME REUNITE WITH ME AGAIN
ARE YOU LONELY
YES I AM
WE
ARE LONELY FOR THE ONES
WHO UNDERSTANDS
OUR SONG
dedicated to Father Sky
and Mother Earth
this is their song.
