Salutation to the Sun

In my medicine bundle
I found enlightenment
tied together with sweet sage,
sometimes I drifted
away with smoke signals of pretense,
often I ignored my wild wild heart
to seek redemption from the story poem of my life

through it all,
I blazed trails with broken wings on my feet
on a firewalk
with destiny
my salutation to the sun
like a dandelion clock
scattering my pilgrimage
to the four directions
I took at once.

The river sings of my return
if I but listen.
The moon runs like silver streaks
down my cheeks.

A dream state, a drift four directions, there the moon runs like silver streaks.
Dream on young Lady dream on, then write some more to this..
Loved the pictures just wanted the Gallery, Yours Ian.T

There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

a formidable combination.

At your best, my dear, you are awesome.
No crit.

cheers,
