Five Hundred Miles Away From Cherokee Mountain

Five Hundred Miles Away From Cherokee Mountain

A Poem by Deborah Leah Krempa

Five hundred miles away from Cherokee Mountain

I hope one day I may travel there & climb that mountain to the

Very top of it, I know my prayers will be answered & my dreams come true

Eventually...

 

Hope in my heart

Undying love deep within my soul

No more shall there be

Delusions of grandeur

Remnants from a manic mind

Elevated mood swings or

Depression...

 

My thoughts are five hundred miles away

I drift off as though on a soft white cloud to the foothills of Tennesee

Leaving behind this crude reality

Escaping the ghetto that I am living in

Searching for you once again, my friend

 

A lonesome highway it seems interrupts my dreams

Where once you & I traveled in a place called cyberspace

At last I had found you or so it seems

You found me... though you thought I was someone else

 

Five hundred miles away from Cherokee Mountain

Reality struck like lightning & thunder, as we collided

Okay, so old rumors I should never have listen to, now I've lost you

Maybe I didn't play my cards right, maybe it was my mania to blame

 

Chased you so far away...

Help me to get over you, I pleaded

End this aching in my heart, for it is broken

Rememembering your words " I am your friend, in my mind"

Okay, so what kind of friend is that?

Keep wondering how you can be so unkind...

Every one tells me to forget about you

Every one says you never really cared about me

 

Maybe they are right

Or perhaps I scared you away

Understandably so...

No one could expect you to endure the drama as you so call it

Thank you darlin for giving me a second chance & a song to remember

After all of these years

I still love you

No one can take that away from me

You know...I think you often and I'm thinking you need a good Sweat Lodge or find one to attend is what I mean. Weekly, more if needed! Mind in the right place or not, you need to take that trip. Maybe it's exactly what is missing...set it in your mind you are going and just do it! I know, easier said than done, but sometimes our grandmother/grandfathers keep calling us until we take heed. There's reason to go. I pray you do; In fact I will do just that.
