| SPIRIT DANCE
IT HAS BEEN WITH ME SINCE I WAS A CHILD....
I WALKED THROUGH FIELDS OF CORN,
WIND BLOWING THROUGH MY HAIR
SMELLING THE RICH SOIL OF OUR MOTHER,
AT PEACE WITH EVERY LIVING THING AROUND ME
I HEARD THE SOUNDS OF THE TINIEST INSECTS,
BIRDS FLYING ABOVE ME,
WATER RUNNING OVER ROCKS IN A CREEK,
A SPIDER SPINNING THE WEB OF LIFE....
THE DANCE OF NATURE
THE DANCE WITH-IN MY SOUL....
THE CIRCLE, WHERE WE ARE ALL CONNECTED.
I MOVE LIKE THE CAT....
STEPPING SOFTLY, CURIOUS OF THE WORLD
PLAYING, TEASING, STRETCHING & BASKING IN THE SUN....
KNEADING MY CLAWS, ARCHING & PURRING WITH EVERY TOUCH
STILL CUNNING & ALERT TO NIGHTS PREDATORS.
I WALKED THE MOUNTAINS & PRAIRIES FEELING MY PAST....
THE HEARTBEAT OF DRUMS UNDER MY FEET
THE DANCING OF MY BROTHERS & SISTERS
I HEARD THE HOWL OF THE WOLF,
WHO IS MY KEEPER, MY WISDOM & STRENGTH
HOLDING MY MATERNAL SENSE OF FAMILY,
MY WARMTH, MY LOVE.
MY DANCE OF THE NIGHT
THE SONGS WITH-IN ME GREW STRONGER....
I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE FLOWERS & HERBS
WITH THE COOL EARTH BETWEEN MY FINGERS,
I PLANTED EACH ONE AS THEY CALLED ME.
THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL....
DELIGHTING IN EACH DROP,
DRINKING THE NECTAR OF NEW LIFE TAKING HOLD IN THE EARTH,
IT WAS HERE I WAS GIVEN THE BEAUTY OF THE HUMMING BIRD....
WITH SAVAGE GRACE, I DANCED AMONG THE FLOWERS
LEAVING ONLY A SWEET MYSTERY BEHIND.
NATURE’S DANCE GOES ON....
AND I AM SEARCHING STILL,
SEEKING KNOWLEDGE OF THE PAST
NOT FOR WHO I AM....
FOR THERE IS A “BEAR” WHO HAS TAUGHT ME THIS & HOW TO LISTEN WITH MY HEART.
BUT I SEARCH FOR WHERE I CAME FROM
AND WHAT PATH I AM MEANT TO FOLLOW.
FOR THIS, I SEE THROUGH THE EYES OF A HAWK....
OUR PATHS CROSSED,
AND HE FLEW BESIDE ME
FOR ONLY MINUTES, OUR EYES MET
AND HE IS WITH ME,
SOARING THROUGH TIME,
LEARNING WITH EACH NEW FLIGHT.
I CARRY WITH ME THE CAT, THE WOLF, THE HUMMING BIRD & THE HAWK....
BESIDE ME THE BEAR, AND ALL WITH-IN HIM....
SHARING OUR LIFE
OUR LOVE.
DANCING THE PATH,
WALKING IN PEACE
WITH THE CREATOR
