My First Lesson In My Medicine Wheel

My First Lesson In My Medicine Wheel

A Poem by Healing Star
"

It is one thing to be told about the Medicine Wheel, it is a far greater thing to be shown how to Use it.

"

He comes in the Night

To wake my Heart

To wake my Heart

He comes in the Night

And says it is Time

He says it is Time

 

It is time to Listen

And write it Down

And write it Down

It is time to Listen

When there is little Sound

There is little Sound

 

My Warrior Guide

He whispers to Me

He whispers to Me

My Warrior Guide

With His Heart He Sees

With His Heart He Sees

 

As we Come to the Circle

We stand at the South

We stand at the South

What is the Energy

Of the Day

Of the Day

 

One of the Twenty

Who Guard you Today

Who Guard you Today

One of the Twenty

Who will Guide you this Day

Who will Guide you this Day

 

What is the Work

You will do on this Day

Do on this Day

What is the Work

You put down your Bow

You set aside your Shield

 

Now is the Choice

From which direction to Enter

And with the same Voice

You will also leave the Center

When your work is Done

You have chosen my Son

 

And now you walk In

From the North

You enter your Center

And you Breathe it In

Your first time you Enter Here

You look and you  See

Like pieces of Pie

 

First the White and the Red

Then you Turn 180

And you See

The Black and the Yellow

The colors of the Corn

Your Seeds of the Morn

 

You are Invited

To step out to the West

You begin to Speak

Of not having the Courage

Now what do you Hold

In your right hand my Son

 

This is your Feelings

The Flowers You Hold

And in your Left Hand

There is Nothing

The Illusion you Speak

There is Nothing There

 

You take the Flowers

Back to your Center

You take the Lesson

It is Yours

Back to your Core

It is Yours, Forevermore

 

As you stand at your Center

You Breathe it In

You step into your Future

This one that is Yours

Reminded of the First Step

That we continually Take

 

As you step into Your Dream

You are asked was that Hard

No of course it Wasn't

You answer the Bard

And you are There

It is Now, it is Done

 

And you step out to the Edge

This represents, going further In

You are there and you See

A holy Sea of Green

The Color of your Heart

You are at your Center, anywhere Within

 

You go back to your Center

You bring back the Green

You are invited to Step again

Into the Future of the Unknown

The bigger picture, into which you Fit

The possibilities, all of which you're Shown

 

And you feel the Wind

It seems to blow through You

And as it does the Fire it Grows

It is your Fire that Grows

He says this is the Place

Of the Fire Wind

 

You Feel in your Heart

A cleansing with This

A preparing of You

For the Next Part

As you step back in Your Center

The Love comes flowing to You

 

And then He says It

It was you who drew Him Near

And then He says It

And you fall to your Knees

You cry for the Joy

Of what you've been Shown

 

It was the Vision

That I have been Seen

It was the Vision

That I have been Seen

The Tears they did Flow

My Tears they did Flow

 

You saw the Grandmother

Bobbing just outside your Circle

But this is the Future

Why is she There

And then He tells You

It is a Mirror

 

She is an Ancestor

Come to show you her Joy

She is Old, but still Playful

You see Love in her Eye

She is so Happy you See Her

She can't hold it In


You sit in your Center

And then you talk a While

Of the little One

That you want to Heal

You pray for his Heart

You pray for his Seal


And then it is Time

To rise from your Center

And walk out through the North

You walk out through the North

All the while you Listen

And are mindful of those who Come

I am a man who has finally realized he needs to write down what matters to him, that I might learn from myself, what is important, what I value. To capture who I am now, for that is all we have is no.. more..
