On a moonless night the spirits dance
The fires sweep the priestess prance
Hollowed logs deep beat the soul
The pounding feet will pay the toll
The crickets preach, the owls speak
Embers glow along the mountains peak
On this plateau its the belief
That angels come and grant relief
The air is dry, the woman ill
The bowl so empty, nothing will fill
A parade of screams and raising hands
Entice the spirits to revive these lands
A cloudless morning up with the sun
So long a night awake no one
The new day spills across the earth
Revealing to all of its rebirth
The crickets listen, the owl did too
When awoke, the land cheered for all was new

Hey you! So, you're hangin' out in the Pub, are you? How 'bout a toast! hehe... "Here's to Bob, I'm glad you came! Your head ain't wobbly! Just your name" *grin*

This poem brings images of American Indians... don't know why... it is quite well written and full of imagery... i like it very much.

Thanks for following me around... *wink*... nice having you here! ... if i could only sort out my mixed personalities, i'd actually answer your email... i will, i will.. really!

I agree with dgvarner: this' a very image provoking poem.
