I saw her dance in autumn leaves
of misty vales;
I saw her run with wild horses
over wind-swept plains
passing through
her fading untamed world.

I don't know why I saw her
as I was following the trail
of other hungry, greedy men
stripping her land of riches
long dead in the madness
called trading centres.

Perhaps it was just
a sudden warming breath
of the Chinook wind
which brought me a fragment
of her song from the wilds
causing me to stop and listen:

"Your soul will never be content
with riches sought from greed:
they bring but pain and misery
true riches are found only here--
in a garden planted with dreams
watered in celestial love..."

The sound of her voice,
the measure of her words
will haunt me forever,
the wandering poet
no longer able to believe
the world's version of riches.

It would be too easy to name her Mariah, as I can't seem to shut out that old melody.
Listen to the wind, watch her as she dances through space and time, revealing the core of the Earth, its heartbeat.
Your eyes are keenly focused on the essence of Life.
