I was young when I left home - Bob Dylan

Crazy Horse By John Trudell

My Heart

I've run long and hard 
My eyes send tears from the perspiration 

My effort not wasted 
I perceive in my heart 

I've performed my very best 
No one observes my heart 

My energy evaporates 
My spirit delicate 

I must keep going 
Bruise weary soul 

My heart weeping 
No victory in sight 

I will not give up 
Time to soar like an Eagle 

I will fight the good fight 
Run the Race of LIFE 

The heart of man 
Is One's Character? 

Mental Toughness! 
My heart sensitive, But tough! 

Polish Gem

One day 
I anticipate finding a Polish Gem 
When I envision her 
I envision ND football 
I found one but could not grasp 
I seek the Polish Gem 
Once more I came to an end 
Darn! What the hell did I do! 
I understood 
The Irish charm enlighten me 
She will never be fasten or tamed 
The Irish chap whispered to me 
Excessively swift she vanished 
Once again I look to the Irish 
As the Irish sings and boogies 
The luck of the Irish gives hope! 

Day Dreamer

I'm a feather floating in breezy San Francisco metropolitan air. I ignore the clatter and daydream of my home on the Reservation. Running in the hills with my dogs and bearing in mind the next hill I must defeat. Hanging out with my buddies in the Chuska Mountains and fishing Morgan Lake. I watched the cool morning breeze overflowing with fog and silence. Morgan lake rest silent as the animals buzz with morning joy. This is the home I yearn for in my spirit but I can only daydream as the metropolitan is at the moment my home.

Searching Soul

Desperately searching the soul pummel 

Confused to where the response occurs 

Sin enchanting the soul's delight 

Searching nevertheless to no avail 

 

Register your soul in the sky 

Left-ed here to suffer the sadness 

Ultimate reality of death 

On this hellish ground 

 

Mother Earth!! Rigorously howling 

The soul gawks into the yellow firmament 

The Heavens give no answer! 

 

The soul hopelessly dead 

Works--prayers--chants! 

No answer!! 

 

Suddenly light shines down! 

Brighter than the noonday sun! 

The soul weeping--howling--"LORD"!!
