Thank You Paul, your poem moves me deeply...
Are you familiar with the writings of John G. Neihardt? Your poetry has
much in common with his. It's really strong and beautiful when meaning
isn't compromised by rhyme and both soar together with the rhythm --
powerful.
"Flaming Rainbow," they named him in honor of his understanding and
eloquence. He spoke for them, he interpreted them to our culture, and a
pity he wasn't better heard. But I heard him, and I heard the hearts of
those he spoke for. He wrote BLACK ELK SPEAKS, and he wrote a
several-volume Unity of masterful poetry entitled CYCLE OF THE WEST, in
which I find his TWILIGHT OF THE SIOUX most noteworthy. Highly recommended.
BLACK ELK SPEAKS elaborates a Great Vision which we each carry in our
individual ways...
With Love,
Green

Subject: [Abraham-Hicks] Blue Sun
From: "Paul Roberts" <netpaul@...>
The sun was blue today.
Bluer than the fire inside the ice
Bluer than the ice inside the fire
Bluer than the flame that flies across the night
And lights the deepest ocean of desire.
Blue it came and settled in my veins
Calling me to something I had known
Once long ago, that I'd forgotten twice
Remembering the fire and the ice
Remembering the fear I was alone.
I touched it as it rose into the sky
Sparking hot and white inside the blue
The white hot core that never seemed to die
and never seemed to cool
no matter how I cried
or what I seemed to do.
I touched it as it soared away from me
And left me standing naked on the ground
Another clod of earth, another tree,
Another mouth, another lonely sound.
I whispered to the sun in all its blue
To take me now, beyond the reach of air
To take me once again
To take me there
Or leave me here to die.
I did not care.
And all at once a rod of gold was launched
Out of it's very center in the sky.
It flew like wild fire through the center of my eye
Into the wild fire in my brain
And woke me upand once again I knew
That I could never be alone again.
