Free verse № 24469
Spirit Dance
Around fireside rings
amid rhythmic toms
a lone Shaman shuffles
the dance of life.
Guttural chants
sung in spirit tongues
rise up, then drift away
on blue-moon winds
mingled with purifying scents
of burnt sage.
Wisdom sought
on the shore
of unseen horizons is found;
clarified by shared visions
with an eagle who soars
between earthly realms.
Encircled within our ring,
entranced by his mind's eye,
we await his healing touch.
