Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I wrote this poem today. I have a book of poems that I am working on. I have about 70 now, and this one is along the lines of natural healing so I thought some of you would appreciate it. I hope I don't offend anyone who is very religious. That is not my intention, just to share a little bit about how I feel. Thanks, Kel If You could They are praising you You Serotonin Dopamine singing to you, almighty drug, praying to themselves and to each other. They will exit through the posh double doors back to cigarettes, sex, alcohol, sugar, car exhaust, poisons, back to money where You aren’t, back to ignorance, doctors passing You out in pill form like candy, back to lost legs from diabetes, lost life from lupus, cancer, heart disease. You could tell them how to heal, spread your wings high up to the blue sky, let your knowledge fall upon them in the September rain. You could tell them you are not high up in the buttresses, the rafters, in the chiming organ pipes, or resting on the priest’s embroidered chair, that instead You are in the air outside, the orange sun, the gentle swirl beneath an autumn leaf, the earth above a seed. You are in the hearts of truth seekers, the Ojibwa, and all who bend to touch the earth, who rest against you softly, close their eyes and wait for you to answer.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Beautiful poem, Kelly...beautiful indeed. But could you explain the last verse? Could you tell me what an Ojibwa is? Please excuse my ignorance. Anita You are in the hearts of truth seekers, the Ojibwa, and all who bend to touch the earth, who rest against you softly, close their eyes and wait for you to answer.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Dear Anita, you are not ignorant by any means. The Ojibwa is an indian tribe which were probably the first people to create essiac tea. Essiac tea has four essential components which are Organic Burdock Root (Arctium lappa)Organic Sheep Sorrel (Rumex acetosella)Slippery Elm Bark (Ulmus rubra)Organic Turkey Rhubarb (Rheum Palmatum). You may have heard of essiac tea. It is a blood purifier and has been thought to fight cancer. Take care, Kel Anita <sealedingod2000 wrote: Beautiful poem, Kelly...beautiful indeed.
