I have witnessed the land
Voiceless screaming
Parched
Barren
Hopeless awaiting renewal

I have entered the lodge
Forgotten, unused
Vestigial
Honor
Clinging to its boughs

I have danced the circle
Elements colliding
Distance
Introspection
Creating visionary perspective

I have seen Earth and Sky
Horizon-joined
Bleakness driven back
In rebirth of wonder

I have been You and I
United duality
Singing
New songs
Heal the balance
