Dreams of a Shaman
Shadow of a Shaman mind:
He sat on the mountain side, crying, oh such a ruckus he made. Approaching his, I ask, oh
brother why do you cry so? You cry as if you have lost all in this world!
My hail to him went un answer, as if I was still to far off for him to hear me, or was my voice
suppress by him crying? I did not know. Closer I came so that I might see, and see I did.
By the cut of his clothes, he was of a wealthy family, for his things were made of the finest
fabric, he sat up on a leather cover cushion. For the sound of sorrow, I had such a strong feeling
for this young man, and yet in my mind I was feeling that there was more here then just sorrow.
He spoke with such truth these words " Impoverish by the limits of the mind, I strived forward,
weighted down by body, I run this race call life, and like so many before me I also run blind."
He stop crying to talk to me, oh what words from one so young.
I have found these fact to be self evidence " try hard to live and yet harder not to die , and why
you do, all ways the un answer why? But than again that the way life goes, so I am told.
Sorrow and pain may fill this cup, over filled but never enough, and that the way life goes, so I
am told. The un fill wants of life are but shallow shadows, shade cast upon my mind, to make
a chaotic scene of my soul. Oh what a pitied that shame would wear the dress of pride, and with
delusion, Sin a horse call life, would ride.
I set here and now understand that for long I have been impoverish, like so many others.
But Now I find that I am no longer ignorance of the law of life, but in my own idiosyncrasy and
slough, I walk to death's door.
I look only for what could I do, for all my compassion what can i say,? And in my mind, only a
man, only a man, I stood only to look and He, only cried the more.
