Thru rainy days

I see her in 1000 mystic stories

In the darkness of 1000 strange places

)(

With the same bright eyes

And face

""

she been around a long  time

Same as me

""

The sweet Indian chant fills the night

With naked visions of soft hands

On the holy breast or breath

Of the sacred mother

Of the sacred sister

Of the sacred daughter

The light falling thru everywhere

)(

( just as an aside --

Arent you all sick of the violent imagry

The name calling and race baiting

That permeate every aspect if our discourse ? )

)(

The frieght train thru the cold night

On the red engineer's car

The owl sits in rigid silence

A vulture circles from so very high

:/:

She my love knows every boy

Each father

Each little brother

She knows all shadows

And  all who live within

•

She gonna be around forever

~~

She shall hold you close

And take you home



The rest is up to you
