shaking the rattle the shaman dances fingerpaint upon his face he begins to move and shapes into form a lineage of time simultaneously enacted two points of the compass one spins of the past one spins of the now shadows creep along the floor entering holes and exiting doors I breathe through the drama he plays in my mind the rattle shakes with the sound of snakes sssssssssssssssssss and I writhe impassioned intuition and knowing sensations of other worlds haunting sometimes arriving in dreams and spaces between I ask, what do you need and what story do you tell
Sometimes the metaphysical is so comfortable, peaceful. This was a pleasant and refreshing break from the normal and I enjoyed it very much, Debby.
Love,
CJ
Intense images stirred here of the fireside dances and ceremonies that even if only watched on Television seem to entrench and seduce the watcher. Sweet write.

This is excellent! If an alien asked me what it feels like when I dream, I would read him your poem and replace the word shaman with the word dream and replace arriving in dreams as arriving as shaman! Dennis

It seems that they want to be materialized... "sixth sense" dictates and human translates.
I have enjoyed this composition with my inner sense and "sixth sense".
