Wild Earth's Song

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"

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....

  1. 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.

  2. I must ask: was this written for the strawberry moon tonight or was it just serendipitous timing?

    1. I think a bit of synchronicity was in play.

    3. By the way, I really do play a native American hoop drum that is made from buffalo hide.

  5. There is a nice rhythm to the poem. Especially so, with the rhyme and single verse interspersed throughout the stanzas.

  6. The 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.

    From 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.
