I don't care what you
for living. I want to know what you long for and if you dare to face your desires. |
|
I don't care how old
you are. I want to know if you risk to seem to be mad for your loves, dreams and for the
adventure of being alive. |
|
I don't care what
planets are orbiting around your moon. I want to know if you have already reached the
centre of your sufferings, have you already been opened by the disappointments of life,
have you already been shrunken and been introverted by the fear of having more pain. |
|
I want to know if you
accept the pain and your suffering without concealing them or intending to change them in
any case. |
|
I want to know if are
you able to rejoice over me and yourself, if you can dance fiercely intoxicated by ecstasy
without warning us to be careful, real and to remember of the barriers of our human being. |
|
I don't care if you are
telling me the truth or not. |
|
I want to know if you
dare to give disappointment to somebody else in order to remain faithful to yourself.
Whether you are capable to bear the accusation of cheating without deceiving your own
soul. |
|
I want to know if you
are faithful and by means of this, reliable. |
|
I want to know you can
see beauty even if it is not in bloom every day and if you are able to take your life from
the presence of Manitou. |
|
I want to know if you
are able to live together with my and your failures and yet towards the silver Moon while
standing on the shore of the lake, shout |
|
I don't care where you
live and how much money you have. |
|
I want to know if you
are able to rise after the night of desperation and pain, worn out and with aching wounds
give your children everything they need. |
|
I don't care who you
are and how you got here. |
|
I want to know if you
would stand with me in the middle of the fire and if you will not retreat. |
|
I don't care where,
what and from whom you have learnt. |
|
I want to know what
fortifies you from inside when outside everything has already come to an end. |
|
I want to know if you
are able to be alone with yourself and you really love the company you have chosen for
your free time….. |

Indian Chieftain dreamed poem "Daydreamer of Oriah Mountain") |
