Jul 2015
In a dream in another place
Were children of the tribes
In a large open grassland
Playing games running and laughing
Elders were around the perimeters
All busy and people and horses

In the space a rectangular stone
Suspended by ropes hollow beneath
I stood under it's interior
Looking up I began to sing

I sang from the heart in a language I don't know
It was taken into the stone bell
Amplified and my whole being was in that song

Long afterwards when I was sitting
A man came to me and he said
The elders have heard your song and translated it
Then he went away without telling me the words.
