Run with the wind and dance with the sea..
Run with the wind and dance with the sea.
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
When life make us sad. Need to find reason and purpose. 
Run with the wind, dance with the sea…
One year in paradise.
We fell from heaven.
Nights of love and passion overtaken
by silence and a goodbye.
I climbed to the highest mountain I could find.
Took me hours to go to the Olympic mountains
in Washington State.
I found a unmarked path and
I tried to touch the sky.
I went to the ridge of the mountain and
I watched the hawks fly in the open sky.
I sat and prayed for some kind of peace.
The hawks sat close.
Keeping me company.
I was dead in heart.
My spirit saw no peace or calm and
a gentle rain came down.
The forest somehow overtook my eyes and
I was swimming in nature beauty.
I thanks the great Spirit for this day and
I took the long walk back to my truck.
Thinking of the gifts of nature all around me.
I realized how small I was.
I held my suicide board tightly and
the rope is connected to my wrist.
I held the board close, even if I lost the grip of the board. It would stay close.
Me and my good friend Padget went into the Winter
storms of the oceans without fear.
Took 45 minute to find the strongest point of the waves.
I was tossed in all directions by the powerful sea.
Some were 200 feet in height.
I felt one with the water and
She could take me away.
Or allow me to dance with her.
Many people would watch us daily.
They would come to us.
Ask us did we fear the ocean or were we crazy?
I would tell them.
“Take no chances.
Know no pleasure or you won’t know the feel of testing life and death.”
I met the woman again.
She came to me and
she asked me to come back.
She told me. I missed you.
I’m sorry for being loco sometime.
I smiled.
I remembered crying in my beer.
Being lost and confused.
I looked at the Seaside ocean.
I remember the breeze of the mountain air.
The hawks sitting across from me.
“Whispering know the real joy of life.
Leave the shit behind.
Run with the wind.”
I watched the ocean dance.
She was calling me and
I wished to go to her.
Dance with the waves and be free.
I reached over and kissed my old love.
I told her. Thank you. And
I told her I found a true love.
“I will run with wind,
I will dance with sea,
I will be free and strong.”
