"cayuga" poems - Hello Poetry

Long ago Long before the dawn of his youth Lived a boy, a young boy A boy who had a dream A childhood dream. He would lay at the forest glade And gaze, gaze in wonder At the peculiar workings of the earth. He would count all the birds of the sky Wander into the dark forest deep Stroll by the humming river And paint with all the colors of the earth. The night's inner glow, The wild's cheerful tune; All of earth's splashy marvel Would prompt his thoughts To travel the world In search of a secret. The blue waters of the Pacific seemed a decent start, he thought Perhaps a swim in the depths of Waikiki Beach Or a hike up Mt. Rainier A stroll in the scenic wonderlands of Northern Idaho Maybe a nice dinner in Broadmoor Hotel at Colorado Springs Or build a cabin in Minnesota's lake country A day picnic at Mt. Chocorua A quick walk down Boston Common Or a Tulip time at Bronx, Drifted his mind. Bend of Susquehanna, Cayuga Lake, Chesapeake Bay, Rehoboth Beach Flashed upon his sight. Then one day, not long ago To his surprise He found the secret Veiled in one who owns his heart.

Childhood Dream

Long ago Long before the dawn of his youth Lived a boy, a young boy A boy who had a dream A childhood dream. He would lay at the forest glade And gaze, gaze in wonder At the peculiar workings of the earth. He would count all the birds of the sky Wander into the dark forest deep Stroll by the humming river And paint with all the colors of the earth. The night's inner glow, The wild's cheerful tune; All of earth's splashy marvel Would prompt his thoughts To travel the world In search of a secret. The blue waters of the Pacific seemed a decent start, he thought Perhaps a swim in the depths of Waikiki Beach Or a hike up Mt. Rainier A stroll in the scenic wonderlands of Northern Idaho Maybe a nice dinner in Broadmoor Hotel at Colorado Springs Or build a cabin in Minnesota's lake country A day picnic at Mt. Chocorua A quick walk down Boston Common Or a Tulip time at Bronx, Drifted his mind. Bend of Susquehanna, Cayuga Lake, Chesapeake Bay, Rehoboth Beach Flashed upon his sight. Then one day, not long ago To his surprise He found the secret Veiled in one who owns his heart.

I. He was in the wilderness a place where no man strays he had nothing to accomplish alone there on the fray Standing oaks reaching tall with green crowns bearing life beams of sunlight piercing stillness red cardinal and his wife Creepy crawlers in the damp black and moist their stay leaves shed carpet years far gone dry twigs upon it lay Walking, watching, listening snake silent moving still squirrel grey lounging overhead sadness here is nil Golden finch laughing chatter dance in full costume twisted vines, honeysuckle shares her bright perfume II. Breathe in deeply, rest awhile Virginian countrymen dreams of days long time past days of the Powhatan Before the European man washed their tribe in pain before the Spanish smallpox before so many slain They danced the dream of brotherhood Siouan, Tutelo adopted by Cayuga into the northern snow Monacan nation, native land wind, water, fire, earth renape spirit guiding silence offering rebirth
