Come gather under the full moon
I invite you to listen to earth's tune
a buffalo spirit sings in my hand
his song vibrates across the land
“Count your blessings each day”
A shaman’s dreams are lucid
evoking earth's inner music
the foundation of song and prayer
there is harmony flowing in the air
“Open your hearts receive the gifts”
Let my humble drum lift you up
hear the howl of a lone wolf pup
a chorus of sparrows sing-a-long
cardinals duet across the lawn
“Listen to the wild earth’s songs”
Drift with me to the roaring waters
let us hear what melody spring offers
follow the drumbeat to the count of three
drift to the healing ballads of dolphins at sea
“Embrace buoyancy in your life”
Dream with me under a strawberry moon
on my sacred drum, I'll play you a tune
we'll set our untamed spirits free for today
listening to what the wild earth has to say
"Sing on the songs of love"
linking with earthweal
hosted by Sherry - I added pup in there for you
my friend, his howl can still be heard in dreams
sending positive vibrating energy out into the universe
Thank you for your time....
Oh how I love this, especially the wolf-pup! I knew he was for me. The buffalo spirit, the birds, the dolphins and the strawberry moon all make this my new favourite of yours, along with the refrain between each stanza. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment. Nature offers us beautiful songs everyday, All we need do is listen for the melody.
DeleteI must ask: was this written for the strawberry moon tonight or was it just serendipitous timing?
ReplyDeleteI think a bit of synchronicity was in play.
DeleteWell, at least it works out nicely. :)
DeleteBy the way, I really do play a native American hoop drum that is made from buffalo hide.
DeleteLove the all encompassing narration, True! You've practically covered all about aspects of life!

DeleteThere is a nice rhythm to the poem. Especially so, with the rhyme and single verse interspersed throughout the stanzas.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to read and comment. Much appreciated.
DeleteThe shaman's song is the earth's and it arises from the deep connection of mind and spirit with those identities in the world. A lovely lifting song here.
ReplyDeleteA song traveled through my veins with each thump of the shamanic drum.
DeleteYou've evoked all the senses in your earthsong.
ReplyDeleteMay our senses be in tune with the universal song of hope and love.
DeleteFrom Susan: Please set this to music and sing this song about the songs that we can be part of in the world. The images are so strong! I Love: "cardinals duet across the lawn." And I love the second voice (the italics) that weaves through.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your wonderful comment, it brought a smile to my face. We need to sing on...
DeleteHi Truedessa - wonderful poem ... I could feel the rhythm of the earth - beautiful ... and yes Susan's suggestion is appropriate ... it'd be lovely to hear sung. Thank you - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteLove this.
