Hope . . . (Poem)

Hope . . .

finding my way

let me go back

to being a stone

sweet grandmothers

let me go back

to inanimate

solid silent

life

let me go back

when this turn

at breathing is

done

i cannot bear

mans inhumanity to man

let me wait

solid silent

until the next

dreaming

begins

its so hard

to imagine

redemption

in the form

we are in . . .

let it go . . . .

.  .  .  sometimes

expressing hopelessness

and letting it go

lets the hopefulness

back in . . . .

im going to pray for those angels . . . .

I write out of my deep ancestral spiritual tradition, handed down to me from my Grandmother.  We are multi-tribal and multi-racial.  The roots of our traditions go deeply in many directions.
