Visions of Your Mind

The boys would visit the elderly Indian man
Everyday after School
When the left one afternoon,
A School bag was left behind
The man opened it to see which boy it belonged too
He found a drawing pad, watercolors and pencils
He looked off into the horizon
Waiting for a vision to appear in the sky
Then he started drawing the masterpiece
That was painted in his soul
The boys stopped by the next morning
On their way to School
The boy opened the pad to find a surprise
The man painted darkened silhouettes of many Indians
Sitting on their painted ponies
Their feathers seemed to sway with the wind
The darkened silhouettes painted against the red sky
Of the perfectly painted horizon
Soft silhouettes of Indians and
The buffalo
Were off into the fog
That settled on the hilltops
The man signed the bottom
`Visions of my mind'
The Indian man died while the boys were in School
His death was hard for them to take
They looked at the picture with sadden eyes
Surprised when they saw the man riding off
Into that far horizon on his own pained pony
Riding with the wind that blew the feathers
In his many visions
The mans Spirit signed the bottom
`Visions of your mind'
Leaving the boys the visions of his Native mind
