LETTERS From CAMP Rehoboth

Rainbow Dancers

Long before civilization crushed the free spirit underfoot Native Americans danced the sundance In balance the land and the people They knew instinctively Without red there would be no purple or orange blossoms Without blue no purple or green leaves Without yellow no orange blossoms or green leaves at all

Part Two

Long after civilization weeps in the dark for its dying children The people everywhere hear the call to dance again the sundance To balance again the earth and its people

For they know again instinctively Without red there will be no purple or orange blossoms Without blue no purple or green leaves Without yellow no orange blossoms or green leaves at all

Part One, written 8/31/92; Part Two, written 8/31/94 Murray Archibald
