Dream Lover

He stole softly into her dreams,
     like a mysterious Aztec god.
Whispering softly into her ear of
     what had been, and of what
     would be.

Caressing her softly,
Slowly stoking the fire within her.
She dreamed of passions,
     long ago lived.

Softly she moaned and turned.
She reached to touch him,
     feeling only the softness of air.
She turned, searching for him.

From a dark cloud, he returns
     to her.
Kissing her gently,
Caressing her slowly.
She pulls him near.

But, he has gone.
Retreating once more into
     the mysterious fog of
     memory and time.

She lies back,
Closes her eyes,
And waits for him to come
     and claim her one more time

Indian Tears

The hawk flies gracefully
     into the sky carrying the
Indians' prayers to the
Great Father.

Prayers of a victorious
     battle as a warriour,
     and prayers of being
     joined with his wife.

The fair Indian squaw
     who died from the white
     mans disease,
While the medicine man
     chanted.

The young warrior sits
     before his fire and chants
     his war song,
Preparing for battle, and
     death.

And as he prays,
He silently cries.
Tears of sorrow falling
     from his eyes.

Quiet, proud, tears that
     no one sees nor hear.
Indian tears.

Lightning Flashes

Dark, angry clouds fill the
nighttime sky.
The air is thick and heavy.

Lightning flashes!

On a nearby hilltop a
wooden cross is briefly
illuminated.

Thunder rolls.

A hammering sound echoes
from the hill.
Coming from the cross.

Lightning flashes!

Weeping is heard from
everyside,
Surrounding the cross.

Rain softly falls.
Lightning flashes!

A figure stands by the
cross.

The wind blows gently,
The words, "I love you"
float to my ears.
I feel comforted.

Lightning flashes!

A chorus of angels
surround the cross,
Illuminating the sky.

Lightning flashes!

Christ died for me on
that cross,
Christ lives for me.

Lightning flashes!

The cross is bare.

Lightning flashes!

The cross is gone.

Lightning flashes!

Christ stands beside me.

Lightning flashes!
