~ Great Spirit Divides
Time ~
Before there was man ...
Animal creatures walked
the land.
But there was constant
fight
Between creatures of
day,
and creatures of night.
The owl said, "I lose my
eye sight
by day's bright light!"
The day creatures had to
say ...
"We can't see our prey,
except by light of day!"
Theirs was a constant
fight
Always in Great Spirit's
sight ...
He would have to bring
peace
A decision, He must
reach ....
To satisfy the hearts of
each
It was Great Spirit's
decision
There would be division
...
For each heart to abide
Day and night He would
divide.
So with Great Spirit's
hand
He created a time band
...
Equal for day and night
to stand
Always across earth's
land.
He then created hour,
twenty-four
No less, no more ...
Divided by a time door
Stars to equal the
score.
Till this time's day
When traveling across
the milky way
If you reach up and
touch a star ...
The time door might be
ajar.
You can see day and
night together
And see into time
forever ...
With Great Spirit's hand
fine
He created a division in
time
For all creatures kind
...
Sun rays by day to shine
Moon to mark the
nightline
Forever in this life,
yours and mine.
