What Is This ???
This and that and the others, so many images
Where has my imagination taken me
I ponder things not yet joined in meaning
How do I draw them all together in unity
There are so many different colors and shapes
What are they all trying to tell me about life
That's how everything finds a new beginning
Sort of like choosing members for a team
But all of this is a story is hiding in pieces
Brand new words have been waiting to speak
It seems that they are choosing me freely
They don't hesitate; they want to play today
I see blue rivers, green grass, brown earth
I see a mufti-colored mountain and pink skies
I see a golden moon surrounded by pink
I see a patch of gray with a blue-gray face
I see pieces of yellow light here and there
It's a magical word of many shapes and colors
I wonder about the blue-gray face of a person
The eyes, nose, and mouth are silver
But they look odd and in-human, not like us
Perhaps I should name him or her
Perhaps a Sioux named, Wakanda
It means possesses magical power, a she in Sioux
Her brothers could be Bimisi (slippery)
Chesmu which means gritty
And Demothi (talks while walking)
Her sisters: Ooljee, Shadi and Tolinka
Moon, older sister, and coyotes flapping ear
Those are all Navajo names for girls or women
Now we have a magical place to begin the story
All of the people have gray faces, girls and boys
I will let them speak and share there life stories
A journey of seven children on an adventure
They are looking for Matoskah, the white bear
And his brother Wambleeska, the white eagle
O yes, now I know What This Is
A brand new story that's ready to be written
