All things are connected
and a leaf can be manipulated
to cause a mountain to move.

Anything and everything
can be made to bend to your will.

But, by the time this secret is learned
there is no desire for Power.
There is no will to change anything.

No error is seen.

Why peel the cocoon away from the butterfly?

Why douse the flames of the Phoenix?

Why rob the light of its shadows?

Why stop the Darkness from magnifying the Light ?

All things are connected.

And it is only due to the interference
of those who seek Power
and desire to exercise their will
that a keeper of the secret
finally becomes disgusted enough
to stomp his foot and show you

All things are connected.

Very good poem XOx Uriah xOX,good history and shows a love for mother earth. Tecumseh was a great warror and leader. He came very close to driving the americans back way back.

Dave
Tecumseh means shooting star or meteor.
