Medicine dress given to heal unworthy recipient trapped in deceit sad so sad:
It started when the moon was full
voices on the wind
crystal skies and on the ground
hope in eyes looking to be found
a lonely traveler thru earth and time
going to meet a kindred spirit
tho we never met face to face
journey was hurried like a race
things had to be put in order
for the spell to set
two lost souls searching
so much pain to forget
it wasnt the fact that the
cycles of heaven were clear
it wasnt an accident
the light keeper was near
she welcomed him into
her chalice pestol bowl
she open the wounds
deep in his soul
a crone a goddess all rolled into one
a soul a novice poweress on the run
this dude was different
he had eyes to penetrate
he had jesus on his lips
and a heart that flowed with love
she tried to trick him
trip him up
she was full of her bitter cup
she spoke in tongues long forgotten
she had visions of dead folks
better forgotten
all the support
could hide her ruse
as she gave up on her self
whats the use
he wanted to love her
and help here belive in her dreams
but she was a child and caught in her schemes
the medicine came in a form of a sacred dress prayed over each bead by the dancers hand chanted and sang by elders of the clan
it was a gift far more spiritual
then she would ever know
all the light keeper wanted was truth
the child hid or said she didn’t know
the medicine dress had a special glow
the long journey today was the day
the lives they held in the balance
the time of year plus a day
everything was well thought thru
to chase the light away
it shone so bright
the medicine fell
it tingled her skin
when she touched it
so she hid it away
when she searched for it
the light the dress
were gone away
then a family death
the very next day
is she frightened of
the keeper of light
could she ever tell truth
and not repeat the mistake of the past
they say life are memories
well this one all
happened so fast
the light keeper was punished by his own hand but the medicine dress is still here in a far away land if she should grow beyond what she can’t control leave it up to the creator on that night he came to heal her soul if she hides and washes it all away I guess just another story told her way …
