Thunderbird Spirit Flight Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

so often repeating
same patterns
ingrained behaviour

behaviour man tribe choice

touch me not
thoughts thunder
I breathe not

thunder lightning storms
wake all senses rebirth mind
in storms elemental life

I breathe sound whips
see light rays ionize retina
storms infuse life pores

flight wings beat
thunder claps in day night sky
mouth eyes open

close mouth
creation words
cause lightbolts

witness universe
echo creation dance
boy sky eyes sees

speaks backwards writes
signs ritual wind stirs clouds script
light bred shades sky signs

eagle eyes hurricane flashes
flies thunderbird dimensions sight
darting vision sight wisdom's

intelligent powerful wrathful
worm greed tribe man breeds material
earth rape stirs thunderbird

anger in sacred mountains vast
Great Spirit sends thunderbird spirit
messages to spirit who listens

listen child tree of life
holds nest creation within
life branches sundance

while sun still shines
raise arms reach hands
embrace life visions
