from the depths
of the sea
rising with the waves~
souls of soldiers
as
thousands of japanese
come first
to sight

now all gods children
once lost
all souls rising
all souls
he saves~

rising on the mountains
and from many a cave~
along with the buffalo
proud souls
chiefs and the brave~

a glorious vision as
their souls rise
to gods word
flowing like an ancient breeze~
songs of love and life
come from souls
rising between the trees~

so many faces upon
sea~
tears fall from the sky
as god watches
how faith
returns all to thee~
all who believed
so faithfully~

many creatures
now gather around~
as a great vision
watches
many a soul rise
homeword bound~


within the clouds
upon a
great chariot
only one
could
BE~

with rod in hand~
his thunder roars
to be heard
throughout the sea and land~

lightning fills the sky
with power and light~
his tears fall as rain
cleansing all souls
leaving only the feeling
of love
and knowing all is now right~

An excellent weave of words sensitive and veiled. Yet the message is plainly there.

Marsha...

The skimming of your dreams
will be cream for others to realize
their own ancestries...

this is a "coming of" poem,
a remarkable memory for those,
not just Japanese,
or American Indian, can enfold;
but so many other ethnic groups
can relate to;

for all religions and ethnicities
have, at one time or another, been
persecuted in some way; and no,
believe me, not just the "strong"
have survived....

so thank you for this memory
for all....

we all have a reason to reach.
