SHAKING THE EARTH
Shaman feet
move as old bear
power with age
in circle of life
Dust rises
caressed by wind's
loving embrace
leaves rattle their song of change
chanting softly
bold and calm
echoing time
in song
wisdom with prayer
hopes and sighs
knowledge in journeys
awakening us
dare we join his dance
commit to the journey
take the chance |
Wolf
From the shadows
eyes peer so steadily
surness graces whole
stalking moonlit paths
Nose lifts to sky
savoring textures of life
Fall air crisp with challenge
so many choices
This night I hunt
instinct sure...
cold and clear
calm purpose
Den so far
need cries out
from life within
to this heart
Driven by duty
held by needs
wolf's life
is a covenant |
Owl Rises
The Evening shimmers
Light and shadows
blending on the edge
not defined or clear
Eyes open to this world
clearly seeing
Life and death
Choosing Life
Spirit rising
to power wings
at first glidding
then truly flying
Through the shadows
Darkness and night
choosing each gift
to take into the light
This owl flies dark of wing
silently winging
heart growing stronger
to the light and nest
She is golden
sitting in the light
Strong and fierce
having survived the night |
Steps to the Sun
Brands against the heart
Child's wail of fear
heritage of anger
fierce resolve
Years stride by
unrelenting time
permitting no contrition
soothing no heart
sundered peoples
lift eyes no longer dim
to the plains
to the mountains
Addressing the stars
woman's song uniting
tribal chants lifting
warrior heads proud
this land
this heart
this soul
is returning to us
these Nations shall
see the stars
walk other lands
be whole |
