Fall Festival Poem: Written By Stephanie Mellisa Kievaughan in r-L
and: Punxsutawney in Second Life

you may need to get outside to find your happy place...
Let the wind Blow in your face..
and Let the Sun beams Warm you
As if standing near a fireplace...
To Hear the Hearts& Guidance
Of Your Elders Wisdom.
Blowing in the Wind
With the Dandelion Tufts
wafting over The Sky Fathers Land.
Listen with Your Heart...
Reach out with your Spirits Hand...
well Child I am exceedingly Glad.
I found you Searching for Me.
I will try to be the wind
rustling your feathers
to keep you aloft
rising above it all...
Finding You
Trying to Find Me
at all Cost...
I will Guide the Healing Compassionate Hands
To Find You...
I Will Send You in The direction of the setting Sun...
May all your Good Works Never Come undone...
When I Found My Hunting Ground
I Turned My Back Upon The West...
I Was Facing East
Where My Spirit Went
To Find It's Rest...
When You were Born Unto This World of Sin...
I Held You up into the Light...
My Humble Heart exalted from Within...
Yet Now I Am Ohh So Near Our Great Sky Father...
I Tread My Feet around a new Fire Circle...
it Burns Not Like The Fire You Know...
It doth Not Burn The Shaft of My Arrow...
Yet all Arrow heads Within it are Cleaved Sharp,
and within it My arrow shaft is Honed straight and True...
When My Holy Rambling Song Is Done...
Your Woolen Twine Will Be Spun...
I will Pray a prayer of Sacred Verse's...
May Your Dogwood Shuttle
Break You Free From Your enemies Curse's...
As I Guide Your Strength to tighten your Weft...
You Sense My Presence
as You Let out Your Labored Breath...
This Blanket Will Be a Guardians Prayer
Watching Over You and Your's and Mine...
Until Five Generations Have Found Their Warriors Deaths...
Their Spirits Will Never Breathe Their Last Breath...
For Now I Know This Great Wisdom...
May You Hold Your Heart's And Spirits Open...
My Soul Hugs You...
For Time, and Memorial...Never Question...Never Debate...
The Holy Spirit Is For Real...
It's The Path Fraught With Trials, and Tribulation...
If You Stay Upon it Guided true..
I will soon Dance Hand in hand with you...
Humbly exalted we will Pray
On and On With a Joy full Spirit
around the Forge of Time...
Our Minds Our Souls Of One accord...
We Quelch our Thirst From a Never ending Spring...
Beyond the ends of the Earth...
In Circle Of Fire Divine
My Destination Found in Due Time...
It Was Never a Decision of Yours Nor Mine...
So Brave Your Struggle Towards The Forge of Time...
Live Out Your Days Like I Did Mine...
With Tolerance bide your Time...
With Compassion For Those Your Right Beside...
Empathy For those Your Walks can't reach...
For My Children Be Careful What you Teach...
For the Heart of The Pure
is Guarded By The Lions Good Grace...
For The Great Sky Father
Knows When Tears Come a Streaming Down Their Face...
Such a Humble Weed The Dandelion Bloom...
Take within you a Deep, Deep Breath...
And watch them waft across My Land...
And Never doubt Your Part A My Plans...
For I Hold Your Soul,
and Heart Within My Hands...
Never allow your Heart
nor Soul to Feel as if all this
or you were a Mistake...
Feelings Like these Make My Heart Break...
Go now Child,
and Contemplate
These Sentiments I Share with you...
Get Outside, and Walk The Bank Of a River.
Or Make You a Fire Circle Beside a Lake...
Sit right down on a stump or a Log...
Call on your Best Friend...
If It Only Be Your Hunting Dog...
For There I am with You...
I Have all ways Been..
I Will Never Turn You away...
Did I Not Sit...
And Look up to you,
and Give You Howdy...
Keep Your Heart Humble
Don't Let It Grow Rowdy...
Know I Love One and all...
Did I not Prove it to you...
In the Corn Harvest You reaped In the fall...

You know Stephanie before I read your comments I felt strongly this poem was coming from native American spirits, am interested a bit in Shamanism, Crystal healing and the likes and somehow this poem seemed to me come straight from ancient spirits.. thank you for sharing

I'm writing my comment on your FALL FESTIVAL poem in the first day of Fall which is not just a coincidence of the calendar; it relates to your native blood and awareness of that native ancestry inspiring your writing. I'm convinced of it. Your poem has a ritualistic quality in its rhythms, details of nature, invocation of nature, native cultural elements, native spirituality. Re-reading a poem like this can only strengthen your connection to these things. I re-read it and the dense details became clearer. When you re-read it your soul will become stronger, healthier. This poem goes a long way in answering the question: WHO AM I?

the shuttle for weaving is carved from Dogwood because it bears no splinters to damage the yarn or thread it is also said to be the wood used in the Cross the Lord was to loose his Life and gain his crown and forgiveness for the gentiles= non jewish people's the voice's in the poem are sometimes elder's and some time's God

Hi Stephanie A wonderful bold and strong way of projecting phrases that one can enjoy. I thank you for your chromatic style of verbal wonderment. BTW I am at the moment under the gun doing three music projects at once. When I am through I want to look into this special poetry connection you have told me about.

Wow, great poem, I love the opening verses they kind of struck me as though you were one with nature. sometimes one has to go outside to rediscover themselves!

yes in a day and age when were either watching television or absorbed in online activities we forget to raise our children to boldly seek adventure outdoors. i wrote this for a friend grieving the loss of her mother. she and i both have first nations native american ancestry. As a tie that binds us together. i wanted to express my hearts condolences and well wishes for her healing process.
