Run with the wind, dance with the sea..
Run with the wind, 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 and we fell from our 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 flying 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 and my spirit saw no peace or calm. 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. I took the long walk back to my truck and thinking of the gifts of nature all around me.
I realized how small I was.
I held my suicide board tightly and the rope was connected to my wrist. I held the board close even if I lost it. 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 and I felt one with the water. She could took me away or allowed me to dance with her.
Many people would watch us daily and they would come to us. They would 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 to her. She told me “I missed you and I’m sorry for being loco sometime.”
I smiled and I remembered crying in my beer. Being lost and confused. I look at the Seaside ocean and I remembered 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 and she was calling me. 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 and I will dance with sea. I will be free and strong.”
