His Old Wooden Rocking Chair
by

She stood at her kitchen door
Looking at the old wooden rocking chair her Grandfather
Had placed under the large shade tree
She could still see him sitting there rocking his last days away
Singing in his Indian words
Could remember him as he looked off into the sky when the sun was
setting
Behind the hilltop
He seemed to be able to see many things in the sky
Things that he looked forward to seeing at the end of each day
He'd make his way to his chair
Sit there until the earth turned dark
The porch light was his sight to find his way back inside
Now he's living in the sky past that hilltop
The same place he visited within his eyes
She misses him but sheds no tears
She keeps the porch light on at night so he can see her as he rides
with his Indian Spirits across the valley and back to the Great Beyond
She sits in that old wooden rocking chair
She now can see the things her Grandfather talked about but she
couldn't see any of them until now
Her Grandfather left her the visions left to him by his Ancestors
She watches her Grandfather as he rides on his pony in the breeze
Blowing into her Red soul
