Here is another piece of Native American Poetry that I find very powerful but peaceful at the same time:
Within the Silence
In the Silence the heartbeat of Love is heard
From the Silence we are born
It is the Silence we must remember
Enter the Silence within and search for the sacred witness
Once found, remembering begins
And the hearbeat of Love is heard once more
Drumming its message – the Silence is in all
In the eagle soaring above the clouds
In the horse running with the wind
In the eyes of a friend
We are reflections of each other
Reflections of the Silence
We complete each other
Look beyond the deceptions and illusions
See the truth in our reflections
The truth that lives in all
The truth that is in the Silence
We create these illusions and deceptions
It is we who must break through them
To remember the truth of Silence
To receive the knowing revealed in the Silence
Connecting with each other in peace and love breaks the illusions
And brings us to the truth of Silence
And with the truth comes the power of the Silence
The power of compassion and giving
The power of sharing our talents and abilities with each other
Sharing our reflection with all reflections
For in sharing, we meet in the truth of Silence
Once more our hearts beat as one
And we remember
We are the Silence
May the power and the peace of the silence always be with you.
