"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.
"This is the First Sign: We were told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana -- men who took the land that was not theirs and who struck their enemies with thunder. (Guns)
"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. (Covered wagons)
"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. (Longhorn cattle)
"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron. (Railroad tracks)
"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web. (Power and telephone lines)
"This is the Sixth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun. (Concrete roads and their mirage-producing effects.)
"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it. (Oil spills)
"This is the Eighth Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like our people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn our ways and wisdom. (Hippies)
"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of the Hopi people will cease.
"These are the Signs that great destruction is here: The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle people in other lands -- those who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as the white man has made in the deserts not far from here. Those who stay and live in the places of the Hopi shall be safe. Then there will be much to rebuild. And soon, very soon afterward, Pahana will return. He shall bring with him the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in our hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the Emergence into the Fifth World."

ReplyDeleteHey, you're speaking my language here. Here is a poem I wrote titled Winter...
ReplyDeleteThe winter snow isn't here yet,
but I hear and see the approaching
North wind of it's initial messenger:
Snow clouds.
The earth's dark horizon
sends a blast of arctic air directly
towards me, skimming across the tops
of Pine trees and woods.
All in one moment, in spite
of my sternness, everything
is in order: part earth, part sky,
part cloud and part self.
I am the only one to see
this rebirth.
Before light replaces the darkness
in my eyes, I pray
on the absence of religious
demands; no acknowledgment
for the theology
which makes my life possible.
While snow flakes fall beginning to cool
my face, North wind
breaks a young Pine tree
in half; small clouds of white
snow rise up to
the frantic air by wrens
in retreat.
I remember a time I stood
on this same spot years ago,
but it was under moonlight,
and I was watching the beautiful
snow wind dance.
In the night time distance,
a stray spirit whose guise
is a whirlwind, spins and attempts
to communicate from it's sublime
loneliness.
