Rebirth Copyright © 1997 Jeff Linder
Wind Walker

OUR MOTHER IS SICK !
The cry is being sounded
From the rocks and stones.
OUR MOTHER IS DYING !
Cry the forests and plains.
Our four legged brothers
Talk to us of the days coming.
The feathered ones are watching
From the sky for the rebirth.

In visions, there are hundreds
Of thousands looking at me asking WHY?
The East has become North
And Father Sun is with us
In shortened days.
The sacred power points
Are weakened and alone.
The watchers of the power
Have returned home and abandoned us.
Mighty rivers flow now
Where grasses grew.
The great oceans have covered
Much of this land.
Our Mother's labor pains are heard
Throughout the universe.
The great mountains shake with
Anticipation of the birthing.
Our Mother cries her last cry
And....
We watch the new Mother rise.
