The Waveries - The Messenger

Max appeared on the first day of summer
Adopted the day he was born
Raised in a garden of love and compassion
And nurtured with insights each morn

A strong enough man, he worked with his hands
No task too tough to unwind
At night he would dabble in music and verse
And sing you a piece of his mind

And when his heart would wonder
'Bout where he might fit in this place
He remembered
Someone once told him the Earth was his Mother
His brothers and sisters the lives upon her face

Max always thrived on his friendships with others
He worked and he laughed and he loved
But there would be days when he needed his space
And a place to reflect on his life

On the solstice of summer, the Black Hills were calling him
Back where his spirit could soar
Alone in the wilderness speaking to nature
And searching for the sense of it all

And when his heart felt lonely
For one familiar face
His comfort was knowing the Earth was his Mother
His brothers and sisters the lives upon her face

On a full moon's night, with campfire sight
And smoke swirling moods undefined
Telegraph winds through the pines spoke to him
And startled his heart and his mind

Max was unnerved by the pleas that he heard
And by nature's spectral display
"Come be my messenger, help save my children
I'll guide you, you'll show them the way"

And when his heart was frightened
By the voices so hard to embrace
His comfort was knowing the Earth was his Mother
His brothers and sisters the lives upon her face

His comfort was knowing the Earth was his Mother
His brothers and sisters the lives upon her face
