Native American Song The maiden sings- My hair is black and shining My skin is brown from long sun My hands are good for work My body, strong and quick I have no voice for words But I will sing my love in old songs And you will hear my song As my father heard my mother’s song And you will answer The brave sings- You have no need for words My heart has heard your song As my father heard my mother’s song And I will answer Your hair is rivers of night Your skin is soft to touch Your hands are gentle for touching Your body, round and well-made My arms can draw the bow My back is strong for hunting My eyes can see far My heart knows the old ways I have no voice for words But I will sing my love in old songs Your heart will hear my song As my mother heard my father’s song And you will answer The maiden sings- You have no need for words My heart has heard your song As my mother heard my father’s song And I will answer Your arms are my protection Your back is broad and pleasing Your eyes have seen me smile Your heart beats with mine They sing- We have no need for words We have spoken love in old songs Our hearts have heard the song And we have answered We are two, but one [This message has been edited by Constance (11-24-2002 04:17 PM).] |

Wonderful imagery Constance ... a lovely piece to help us know that we can often be heard without a single word being spoken. Very much enjoyed!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Sunshine, Kit, Noah, Thank you all so much for your kind replies! I have been away for such a long time. I'm so pleased to be back among the good and gifted people here. I could spend so much time reading and enjoying the work of others that I have little time to jot my own thoughts. A visit here is always a treat, and often a humbling experience for me. Thanks again. |

Constance, This is beautiful. You've captured true love. "I have no voice for words" and... "We have no need for words" ...when hearts unite, there aren't words... spiritual, emotional and physical in nature, love is there as solidly as the sun, moon and stars. I love this this poem. Warm regards, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Thank all of you for responding so kindly to this one. I have a CD with Native American drum and flute which I brought w/ me from AZ. Listening to it inspired the song. |

WOW that pulled me in and kept me. What a wonderful song. I feel like I understand something I didn't understand a few moments ago. ... and they sent him home happy ... one hundred percent. |
