A Cry To The Mother
by Raven Bear Paw
Age Group: Adult
I stood in a field near a big Oak tree,
I turned my head skyward and cried out
Mother, where are you for I am lost.
I can not hear the music that is your symphony.
I can hear your birds as they sing the morning hello.
I can not feel the rays of the warm sun as they pass the horizon,
Nor can I see the nature that is your beauty.
I stood and listened
I listened so hard, my ears ached
But no reply came
I stood in the mountains next to a raging river
I turned my head skyward and cried out
Mother where are you for I am lost
I can not hear the river when she speaks.
I can not feel the Gentle breeze as it blows
I can not smell the nectars of the earth,
Nor can I feel your love around me.
I stood and listened
I listened so hard, my ears ached
But no reply came
I stood in my widow bathed in the light of the sliver moon.
I turned my head skyward and cried out
Mother, where are you for I am lost.
I can not see the moons light for it had grown dim
I can not see the light of the stars for they do not shine
I can not hear your sweet symphony of the night for it has grown still,
Nor can I feel your arms around me
Why have you abandoned me?
I stood and listened
I listened so hard my ear ached
And then she replied.
My Child,
I have not abandoned you.
For I have been with you the whole time.
When you stood by my Oak did you not see his leave waving in the wind?
That was I tell you I was there.
Did you not see my red Cardinal perched upon the branch of that Oak?
He was there to show you my Splendors
Did you not see the sun wink at you as he passed the line of the land?
He was telling you I was there.
When you stood in the mountains next to the river
Did you not see the fish that swam by flapping his tail?
He was telling you I was there.
Did you not see the gentile grass as it swayed in the breeze?
It was tell you hello from me.
Did you not hear the Hawk cry as she flew by?
She was telling you I loved you.
When you stood in you room bathed in the light of the moon,
Did you not feel safe and warn?
For I was there holding you.
Did you not see the star shoot across the sky?
I was telling you I am here.
You did not hear the night symphony for I quieted it,
For you to slumber.
I am here for you now and always,
All you need do is listen.
Not with you ears or with your eyes or with your nose,
But with your heart and know
That I will always be by your side.
