The Ancient Fire Watcher gazes upon his natural Dakota world,
His tomahawk spirit living deep within his darkling eyes
His soul perceives, then answers the Northern Sun's courageous call
The fire-stallion ceremony intertwines the centuries old ritual flames
A mind melding inferno of atomic blasts
that will end the secret pact, alledged collusion
between territorial darkness and the moon-less night-time sky
Unknown rules of conduct bedevil him in unexpected cloud-bursts
with calm endurance he keeps wait
His never ending patience marks his guided map to inner wisdom
Symbolic dream-sign visions form in resonating thunder-claps
intense defacto drum-beats detonate
Silvered shock wave radiation, lightning bolts, unequaled and unrivaled
Shimmering sheets, reflective zig-zag micro-bursts
He hears the nuclear voice of God exploding
Sees His golden chariot drawn across horizon's dawning day
