For
I Have Been To The Mountain
~*Marge
Tindal*~
For I
have been to the mountain
looked
down over the valley of shame
knowing
that the longest trail
with
my people's blood is stained
Tales
written so long ago
crumpled
treaties of another time
but
I have been to the mountain top
to join
your spirit with mine
In this
questing I have grown
because
I've come to know
the
legends of the past
did
seeds of wisdom sow
Manifested
on the mountain
cascaded
down the streams
landed
in the valley
where
there blooms
a promised
dream
When
spirits walk
there
will be a new tomorrow
painted
across the valley view
no more
trace of tearful sorrow
When
spirits walk - and they will
the
valley will again be plush
with
luscious green grasses
in flowering
peaceful hush
