POEMS WRITTEN ONLY STR8 FROM MY HEART, IN THE PUREST FORM, EMBRACE THE WORDS AND LEARN FROM THEM, THERE ARE MANY TEACHINGS...    
PLEASE HELP THE 7TH. GENERATION AND THE SACRED CHILDREN OF THIS LAND THAT WE SAVE SOMETHING FOR THEM, DO NOT THROW YOUR CIGARETTE BUTTS OUT THE WINDOW UNLESS THEY DO NOT HAVE A FILTER, THE TOBACCO CAME FROM MOTHER EARTH. NOT THE PLASTIC. JUST 1 LITTLE THING THAT CAN HELP OUT IN A BIG WAY. OH-NA

"SPOOKED, ON THE MOUNTAIN I CLIMB ALWAYS.... SHORT STORY"
****CLICK ON SONG ON BOTTOM OF PAGE**** OCTOBER 26 & 27TH.... 2:00AM ON FRIDAY THE 23RD. OF OCTOBER, I HAD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS MY FOURTH AND FINAL CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT FOR MY NEWLY FOUND 1/3 LUNG CANCER, IT HIT ME LIKE A BOULDER OUT OF NOWHERE, I WAS DOWN AND OUT FOR 3 DAYS.... I SLEPT AND DRANK FLUIDS, BY THE TIME MONDAY ROLLED AROUND AND TUESDAY MY BODY SAID NO MORE SLEEP FOR YOU, I WAS CONFUSED ON WHY THAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME.... TUESDAY AT 2:00AM, I WALKED DOWN THE STAIRS AND FINISHED OF A 64 OZ CONTAINER OF V-8 SPLASH, I ENDED UP IN THE REST ROOM TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF MY EYE, BEFORE I STARTED TO FEEL IMMENSE PAIN IN MY LEFT HAND OF MY PALM, I SAT DOWN AS MY HAND BEGAN TO CRAMP, PAIN REALLY BAD LIKE SOMEONE JUST CUT MY HAND WIDE OPEN, AND IT BEGAN TO CONVULSE LIKE MY HAND WAS OPENING UP BY ITSELF LIKE THE GRAND CANYON.... MY HAND STARTED TO SHAKE, I HAD FALLEN FORWARD AND HIT MY HEAD ON A METAL BOOK RACK AND KEPT FALLING UNTIL I MET THE FLOOR, I FELT SOMETHING WET ON MY FACE AND USED MY RIGHT HAND TO FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS BLOOD, NOT GOOD AS MY CRUMBLED BODY LAY ON THE FLOOR SHAKING AS MY HEART RATE WENT THROUGH THE ROOF.... MY LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY NUMB AND THIS POINT PRAYING TO GOD THAT I NOT LEAVE MY BELOVED MOTHER EARTH THIS WAY, MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED.... I DID SELF TALK AND BROUGHT MY HEART RATE DOWN, SO I COULD THINK AND COME UP WITH A ACTION PLAN ASAP, WHICH I DID.... I USED MY LEGS TO PUSH MY BODY OUT OF THE WASHROOM, DOWN A NEVER ENDING HALL, UP 1 STAIR TO WERE THE TELEPHONE LAY, SOMEHOW I WAS BROUGHT TO MY FEET AND CLUTCHED THE PHONE AND DIALED 911.... AT ABOUT 3:00AM, I WAS HEADED OUT THE GARAGE TO AWAIT THE AMBULANCE IN 30 DEGREE WEATHER WITH A TEE SHIRT ON AND SWEATS, I TOOK A SEAT AND WAITED AS I CONTINUED TO PRAY.... ONCE THE STRETCHER CAME OUT AND I WAS PUT ON IT, I STARTED TO CALL FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS.... AS IT ALL UNFOLDED IN FRONT OF MY EYE'S, THAT VERY PAINFUL NIGHT, WAS ACTUALLY A BLESSED GIFT IT TOLD ME THAT MY BRAIN WAS NOT FIRING ON ALL NEUTRONS BECAUSE MY BRAIN WAS SEVERELY SWOLLEN.... THE SWELLING WAS A DIRECT CAUSE OF THE SEIZURE I HAD, WHICH IN TURN TOLD ME I HAD ANOTHER CANCER IN MY BODY - BRAIN CANCER.... TODAY I STAY POSITIVE AS RADIATION WAS STARTED ON ME THE NEXT DAY FOR 3 MORE WEEKS, AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF NEW MEDICATIONS, STAYING IN TODAY, NOT DWELLING ON THE PAST, ACCEPTANCE IS MY MAIN FOCUS.... "AS LANCE ARMSTRONG WROTE IN HIS BOOK, PAGE 37." " HIS MOTHER SAID, MAKE AN OBSTACLE AN OPPORTUNITY, MAKE A NEGATIVE A POSITIVE." THERE IS NO OTHER WAY FOR ME TO LOOK AT THIS, LIVE IT AND FEEL IT.... I CONTINUED, EVEN FROM 2ND. HOSPITAL I WAS TRANSFERRED FROM TOO HELP THOSE WHO ARE WORSE OF THAN THYSELF, IT GETS ME OUT OF ME, MY HEART GRINS SHEEPISHLY AS I HELPED 3 PEOPLE GET INTO A MUCH NEEDED 12 STEP PROGRAM.... FOR HOPEFULLY THEIR LIFE CHANGE.... COPYRIGHT©SAMOTH
