Hanblecheyapi
I need a place,
a place of solace.
I need to find
a place to hide.
I need to get away.
So that I may look
with far-seeing eyes
upon you.
I need to hear
with open ears
the cry of the hawk,
and your name, to the sky.
I have to breathe in virgin air
and fill my lungs
with a new symbol of you.
I need to sit upon a high ridge
and seek a vision
to fill my soul.
I need to fade into you.
*Hanblecheyapi-Lakota Sioux word
meaning 'to cry for a vision'
