Medicine Man - Black Elk's story of The Great Circle

See Their Knowing Wise

The medicine man
who evokes nature and spirit
The wise one
that looks to the cycles
of the seasons and the stars
The children
pure in their joy,
in their love,
in their reverence for life
Let us anew
see their knowing wise
Let us not in illusion hold
to deception and demise
The Great Circle
knows it so very well
This Orb within heart
love's answer to dwell.

Ever Present Rapture

A knowing wise, a PRESENCE from which I ne'er depart
This within the deep chambers of my heart
Galaxies and vistas both near and far
Wondrous be the light of each brilliant star
Creations ever present rapture to enfold
Beauty be Creation's story now and ever told.
