Medicine Man
     
              (An Ode To Doctor Jarrell)
                 
                    Medicine Man, O Medicine man
                Work your shaman's magic
                I came to you more dead than alive,my spirit bruised and battered.
                You enter my soul and dreams,restoring the me that was shattered.
                 
                 
              Medicine Man, O Medicine Man
                Work your shaman's magic.
                Teach me the secrets you know so well,free me from my shackles.
                Show me where my hidden powers lie.

                For so long now my throat lay bared, to the fangs of loathsome creatures,
                With teeth like knives so sharp and deadly, they follow me with raised hackles.
                 

              Medicine Man, O Medicine Man
                Work your shaman's magic
                Show me the path I must follow, to take my power back again,
                To no longer fear tomorrow.

                Help me find my fire again, to burn bright like Brother Sun.
                Teach me not to fear the shadowlands.
                To lay my head in peace,upon Mother's breast, all safe
                when day is done.
                 

              Medicine Man, O Medicine Man
                How do you repay one for giving you life,
                showing you freedom's door, and giving you the gift of flight?

                How do you repay one for showing you the way,that one can heal herself?
                For giving her the medicine,so precious and rare, of how to love herself?
                 

              Medicine Man,  O Medicine Man
                 Many thanks flow from my heart.
                I thank you that you care so much, and give me of your time.
                I pray Creator blesses you,with many blessings, flowing  like rivers so sublime.
              Medicine Man, O Medicine Man
                         I thank you for the wisdom, you so selflessly impart,
                I thank you for your magic, you so artfully employ.

                And most of all my Medicine Man; I wish you abundance and  love, and a spirit full of peace and joy.
