Freeing My Spirit

Once I meditated on the American Indian way.
This poem is dedicated to that peaceful time in my life.
Storms send out their chant wrapping soul in
thought so peaceful this winter...yet as active
as flames from fire guiding my way, I think of
reaching out with delicate butterfly wings in
summer, not enshrined, but weaving through
days so distant...whispers hardly audible,
cast my eyes upon threads of perception;
treading through assortment of mind tunnels,
an eagle's journey sparking memories of hearing
distant flutes, drums and those passionate friends.
Now! Aging sleepy eyelids entice me into dreams,
once days filled with many roads to travel; energy
gathers me up like free flowing water carrying my
spirit by means of visions, nourishment of an
innocence undemanding,
puffs of wind sometimes sweeping in direction of woods
and forest, busy massaging wrinkled standing bark...as
breezes are unaware of my presence. Hearing hoot of owl
as moonbeams compel night creatures to tread their own
personal paths, while brushing through grass so green,
I too in dimpled wonder free my spirit once again.

Lovely meditation Jenny!
Lovely meditation Jenny! Sounds a lot like camping in the wild in nature! And beautiful poetery definitely inspired. Someone told me the medicine-doctor (sjaman) took an aloe's juice to see visions it is an hallucigen. Like magic mushrooms but more potent.
Keep well! Tom Brown

It is real
It is real, the visions sound just like astral body travel one must be very careful though .. . .. actually not such a good idea.

Just a bit worried of my answer
Just a bit worried of my answer people might understand me wrong. You know, the "dream" is real not the content. Like when I have a dream a nightmare the dream is real, it was a dream it's gone. Or watching my favourite Paddington Bear episode on the TV. He's not really there I'm actually looking at the TV.
Stupid but I don't want to encourage people to do very foolish things kids especially can fall into such a trap and end up believing the wierdest things.
See you then Jenny! It is clear you did understand me right.
Let's give someone else a chance! Tom Brown

Love the image of an eagle
Love the image of an eagle flying. Synonymous with North America.

Hi jenny
Hi jenny
This might have been written by Sitting Bull himself. I have written some of his thoughts written down by others, and this reminds me very much of that.
