But I am kahtonga the keeper of hope

No you are hopeless

Cast now your colored beads into the river

The river desire where your tears fall and flow

Ever they flow to never cease

for you desire but have no hope

are not the beads the hopes and dreams of all

you cannot see hope blinded to beads that are not hope

desire flows endless on

but hope lives ever

there are no binds or bounds of space or time

not forty times forty endless lifetimes

cast your beads into the river below

I kahtonga swallowed hard and threw my fear

Shrill cry of raven parted the smoke and clouds

Sun shined moon reflection of her passion

Rainbow bent

And I could see the face and hear the voice

Of love on the other side

But still not the touch

And each we fell and cried the tears of a lifetime

While raven flew into blue

Brightwhite

Into the black

When I kahtonga opened my eyes I saw raven brightwhite

Gleam of gold brought from the dark where love began

Ravn flew the gap between us and cast this golden arrow into the river

Wound so deep she could no longer flow

And there we two cried until the tears flooded the canyon

I kahtonga swam into laughing eyes

The touch of one
