Poetry by Greg Wait
Love Them
Birds fly
invisible wind dreams
framed
by the landscape
of our eyes
tender heart
hemlock green
and snowflake white
enter us
and leave us
astonished
Reflections on Mid-Winter Drumming Vision Quest 2004
Family of drums circling the fire
softly touching the earth
under the cover of dancing light
Then soaring through the sky
All day I dream of coming closer to my true love
glowing embers are distant stars
The moon shines a medicine wheel alive
rabbits delight in the dancing bear
hapy each moment his spirit is full
Every struggle contained in the circle echoes a prayer
Each drum beat ignites the cosmos
Gentle falling snow blankets the pounding drum that we rest in
Each moment becoming longer, each day shorter
transparent breeze I open to you
Looking beyond the surface of the drum
the rhythm carries the heart of my ancestors
Alive today, dawn of the sun
drum family carries me safely home
Birds fly
invisible wind dreams
framed
by the landscape
of our eyes
tender heart
hemlock green
and snowflake white
enter us
and leave us
astonished
