The Great One
Written by Mel Brake
For a lifetime we have waited on God to answer our prayers
For eons and eons
Or so it was
High-noon God’s messenger appeared
As the rainbow ribbon sun was at its stand still
The messenger with white hair looked down on us from on high
Not in arrogance but with humility
After making circles overhead and getting closer and closer
To the ground the messenger landed in a tree
We watched and thought what was the meaning of this grand entrance
And who was the messenger and what was his message
“The time is now” were the words spoken
“What you asked for will be given” were the words spoken
“No longer will there be suffering among the people” were the words spoken
“Time to take up thy bed and walk” were the words spoken
“I am the way, the truth and the light” were the words spoken
“Be kind to thy neighbors and thyself” were the words spoken
“Look not for me but to yourself” were the words spoken
“We speak in the name of Wakan Tanka” were the words spoken
And then the messenger lift-off with his expansive wings
Rising higher above us and his white tail was like a torch in the day noon sky
And then the messenger was no more
