"Never Give All The Heart"

Never

  Give  All  the  Heart,

 for  Love

Will   Hardly  seem  worth  Thinking  of

To  Passionate  Women  if  it  seem

Certain,  and  they  Never  Dream

That  it  Fades  out  from  Kiss  to Kiss; 

For  Everything  that's  Lovely is

But a Brief,

  Dreamy, Kind

 Delight.

O

Never

Give the Heart Outright,

For they,  all  Smooth  Lips  can  Say, 

Have Given  their  Hearts  Up  to Play.

And  Who  could  Play it  Well  enough

If  Deaf  and  dumb

  and  Blind  with Love?

He

 that  Made  This 

Knows  all  the  Cost,

For  he Gave

All  his  Heart

and

Lost.

"The Path"

You 

 were  the Romantic.

I  was  just  being  Practical, Remember?

It  was,  in  Fact,  the  shortest,  most  Direct  Line

from  the  Bridge  where  we'd  Meet

to  that  big  olde  Oak  I  Loved.

I  still  Recall  how  Handsome  you  looked,

Running  ahead,

Laughing  back   Over  your  Shoulder.

Even  then  you Called  me an  olde Slow  Poke,

Remember?

Remember  how I  Wept,

when  my  Oak  came  Down  for  the  new  Highway?

Then  the  Creek  that  ran  Under  the  Bridge

ran   Dry.

I  suppose  it  had  No  Reason  to  go on  Anymore,

No  Where  to  go.

But  the  Path  we  Made  Goes  on.

Remember  when  it  was  all  Untouched  Meadow?

We  Made  it  a  Path,  you  and  I.

Once  it  was  all  Ours,

and  that  Meant  Something.

Remember?

"Idle No More"

I 

Weep  as  I  Hold 

the Book, with  Encircled 

Arms, close  to  my Chest.

I  think," Dear  God, What  have 

we Done?" 

<<+>> 

"The  Earth  was Created 

by  the  Assistance of  the  Sun,

and  it  should  be  Left as  it Was...

The  Country  was  made Without  Lines of  demarcation,

and  it  is No  Man's  Business  to Divide it...

I  See  the Whites  all  over  the Country  gaining Wealth,

and  See   their  Desire  to Give  us  Lands  that  are Worthless...

The  Earth   and  Myself  are  of  One  Mind.

The  Measure  of  the Land  and  the Measure of  our Bodies are  the Same.

Say  to  us If  you Can  say it,  that  you  were  Sent  by  the Creative Power  to  talk  to us.

Perhaps you  think  the Creator sent  you  Here to dispose  of  us as  you  see  fit.

If   I  Thought  you  were Sent  by  the Creator  I  Might  be  Induced  to Think  you 

had  the  Right  to  dispose of  me.

Do  Not  Misunderstand me,

but  Understand  Fully  with  my Affection  for  the  Land.

I  Never  said  the  Land   was  Mine to  do  as  I  Chose.

The  One  who  has  the Right  to  Dispose  of  it  is  the One  who  has Created it.

I  Claim  a  Right  to  Live on  my  Land,

and  Accord  you  the  Privilege  to  Live  on  yours.

"Safe Harbour"

Be

 Honest with me.

Share the Secrets of  your  very Soul,

for  Each  is Something  I want to  Know.

Be

 Strong  at Times,

for  in  a hectic , competitive World

when  others  push  and  shout

I will Need a Gentle, Quiet Place to Hide, 

a  Place  where  Honesty  resides,

where  Strength is Tempered  with Gentility.

Be

 that  Place  for  Me.

"Completely"

She

 Asked  him What  it was,

that  seemed  to have Disturbed  him so.

He  Stuttered  and  Explained

that  it  Bothered  Him 

to  Watch  the  Summer  Breezes Muss  her  Hair, 

to  see  the  Autumn's  brilliant  Reds  and  Golds

Reflected  in  her Eyes,

the   Kiss  of Winter on  her Cheek.

He said,  in Truth, that the Seasons themselves

had  given  him Cause to Envy.

It  was  the Way they  seemed  to Touch   her  Life

Completely.

It  was  the Way he Never  had

and  Never  could.
