~CHEROKEE CEREMONY~

 

The Sun peaks over the Mountains,
it's the Dawn of her Wedding Day;
She's waited a lifetime it seems,
to be one with her Indian Brave.

In the distance howls a She Wolf,
'tis a beautiful sound to her ear's;
She can smell the aroma of Coffee,
taste the salt from her joyous tear's.

Her excitement grows with each second,
her smile she can not contain;
For she knows that after this evening,
she will never again be the same.

Her Village hurries to greet her,
preparing for her special day;
Her Mother presents the garment she'll wear,
when she marries her Indian Brave.

When the Sun begins to set,
she emerges from her TeePee, aglow;
She's waited two years for this moment,
every since she was first betrothed.

As they join their hand's in love,
she gazes at the man she'll marry;
And as the Chief chants the Wedding Vows,
along with the wind, her heart's carried.

They both look into the other ones eye's,
and she knows how blessed she is;
For now she belongs to her Indian Brave,
and she is forever now his.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
