Kokopeli dancers bending flute notes, cascading each heartbeat into a confluence rivers of passion flowing up, down, around, surrounding hidden crevices of the mind and soul ~unseen...only felt~ above the cliffs in shadow of night a flight of the dreamers, the midnight screamers sing sway me, play me, in heart of beat convey me ~sighing, crying, dying to be re-born in the phoenix ~everlasting~ as my kokopeli dancer continues bending dreams into harmony and synchronicity encompassing the circle which is ...life... and the sight of a dove in love seeking the clouds beyond (where even the rainbow dares to show) can lighten the heart, causing it to release cloudbursts in a never-ending deluge of memories ~holding onto the memories of you~ memories which lift the gift of love, feathered moments from above (where your heart resides) ride the winds, ride the winds of change, slipping into my veins releasing pain’s chains and seeping into the marrow of me so I can see ~God~ as the sacred fires burn tonight in pounding feet in beat of Earth’s heart and time... travels the rhyme lightly in my mind and dances with spirits of old so bold (not cowering shadows) of untold millions speaking in rhyme ~it is time, it is time~ to circle the globe called Earth in remind put down the hate put down the weapons put down all the things that keep you from the gateway to Peace on Earth and enter into the slipstream of Love, where you needn’t be blind or deaf to catch the tingle of an approaching storm, to feel the rise of hair, the taste of ionic change as you breathe in the tiniest moments of Life see and hear the essence as it surrounds you even when your eyes and ears are handicapped by excessive worldly input and all the while, kokopeli dancers can be seen bending dreams into reality, cascading millions of heartbeats into a river of One. |

This raised the hair on the back of my neck.. I get that way when something truly spritual happens...felt it several times while attending pow wows, and several times when far from roads, connecting with the flute entities...again after reading this poem... It is a feeling of being cleasened, perhaps.. This poem is like the burning sage smoke that is brushed into clothes, to purify...the delightful feeling of being freed from sin, if for only moments... We are all one people... Folding hands across my heart. __________ice/ford ><> |

put down the hate put down the weapons put down all the things that keep you from the gateway to Peace on Earth and enter into the slipstream of Love, where you needn’t be blind or deaf to catch the tingle of an approaching storm, to feel the rise of hair, the taste of ionic change as you breathe in the tiniest moments of Life see and hear the essence as it surrounds you even when your eyes and ears are handicapped by excessive worldly input and all the while, kokopeli dancers can be seen bending dreams into reality, cascading millions of heartbeats into a river of One. Awesome write, dear Kacy! May there be Love and Peace to embrace this world. Thank you for this beauty. Love, Margherita |

Kacy, I'll place your slipstreams of love next to the ripples of peace and blend from you a more wonderful life.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Thanks dear Ken, you know that a music muse gifted this to me. Atahualpa/Imbaya music (thanks Cesar et al) (Ecuadorean music). I listen often to American native flute CD's as well as those from Ecuador. Lauren, I appreciate that comment, as you are such a wonderful writer BTW, I am missing your writes! |

This is wonderful, thank you for sharing it. Just remember, the kokopeli also is a trickster. *wink* |

Love this. This is the first time I have see the word Kokopeli outside of my little area of travel. We have a Kokopeli's 30 miles from here. It is a sub sandwich shop. Love eating there...though they raised the price a $1.00 a sandwich so I have been Boycotting the restraunt for a couple of months now. All my friends and I have. LOL! But I wander off topic. Love this poem Midnitesun. You have painted a wonderful picture upon this blue canvas today. Bravo! |

I do keep that thought in mind, icebox, that the kokopeli character of the southwest is also known as a trickster. Thanks for reading, k dancer Sauni, thanks for spending a moment here, and for your generous comment. So happy to have you active on the board again. Kevin, wow, thank you for your time and reply! Glad that you enjoyed this one |

and enter into the slipstream of Love, where you needn’t be blind or deaf to catch the tingle of an approaching storm, to feel the rise of hair, the taste of ionic change as you breathe in the tiniest moments of Life see and hear the essence as it surrounds you even when your eyes and ears are handicapped by excessive worldly input Kacy, absolutely marvelous feeling one gets while reading this...definately spirtual...and moments of truth all throughout... Thank you |

Kacy~ 'bending dreams into harmony and synchronicity encompassing the circle which is ...life...' There is word-magic dancing in your ink~ This is simply an outstanding penning~ I feel that with the easy flow of it ... it may have been one of those pieces that just came quietly and let your fingertips tell the story~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |
