Vision Fast

A voice inside, waiting to be seen
A vision of all, waiting to be touched
Eons of ancestors, waiting to be heard
to be healed
to enter the unbroken circle
whole, never to leave
it is done

Riddles of the cold windy whispers
magic faced yet left undone
boney rattles as the dead cry
let us dream you
it is done, it is done

Visions held fast in time like never moving mannequins
Playing cards of episodes replayed again and again
Dreams dreamed by a thousand hungry eyes longing for relief
It is done, it is done, it is done

Doors open to nothing but the wasting wind
Minute by pounding minute of
nothing but pounding thought
after thought

Grains of gritty time
in a grinding cog
of windy fastness

A voice inside sings the being of is-ness
I am a woman who follows her heart home
I am a man who is grounded and secure
I am my own ancestor, grandmother
The canyon walls stand mute witness
to a place inside called a vision of home
it is done and undone
