Inspired by Robert J. Forese's poem, "Dream Scene...the Great Spirit"

We walk through a red sea

The trees reflect spirits

The slain vibrate
In green irridescent leaves

Look closely
The cells fill with blood

Blood made our dry fields fertile

Bones a meal for our crops

The wheat drys gold

The corn grows fat

On strong stalks

They could almost walk

Close your eyes

You can hear them talk

The grass whispers

In these peaceful fields

Souls roll dust

Down dirt roads

Devils gather them up

Send them spinning

Into the arms of Mother Earth

Linda,

I am echoing the board, wonderful and strong piece!
Your eye is wide open in this write, as I suspect it is
with much of life. <smiles>

This is a wonderful take on the continuum of history and culture, Linda, tying everything back into the earth mother, where it belongs. So evocative - and has an American Indian feel to it's spirituality I think, too. Love the tumbleweed effect of the souls rolling dust down dirt roads. A great take on and further tangent of the original poem. Very atmospheric. TY Kate xx

The corn grows fat! Hey Ed K, you're not alone..

The sea red from the suns reflection, or the blood of battle.
Nicely done Linda. Didn't know you were called Henry too.
