In a time past That time before The sky fell, The people were Still a part of all spirits And the mountains, Which held the sky, Still sacred places That one visited Only on quest for Vision. One day, Sky looked down And saw the people Were very fond of Sun Who traveled across Sky’s prairie every Day and in passing Always faded Sky’s deep blue. Sky grew jealous And heartbroken, As she felt the people Did not truly give her The honor she deserved. Several days later, Sun, Ready to begin his daily Trek across the prairie, Was met by Sky at the Edge of Morning And denied passage. Sun explained That he must travel Or the people will surely Lose their way Without him to guide Their daily lives. Sky stood firm And grew rigid in her denial, And Sun lost patience As the day was already Late in starting. He tried to move Past her and force his way Onto the wheel which Connects all things, But she reached out And grabbed him And they wrestled. The people noticed It was not yet light And began to sing Songs of passing Trying to call the sun For they feared the darkness. Sun heard their calls, And wrenched himself free Of Sky’s grip. Sky felt her Fingers break off completely And watched as they fell Shattered, on the mountains. Sky has never been able To hold anything in her hands Since this battle, and the Mountains, still sacred, Now contain turquoise. |

This is one of the most beautiful fables I have ever had the joy to read. Your talent is one that needs to be shared, please don't ever stifle yourself with silence! Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |
