| My Song of New Life by � coondogk9 My head laying on the buffalo skull I stare into the sky. Visions of the stars and moon pass before my eyes. Spirits forms briefly glimpsed, gathering one another. A pow wow for our kindred beings, thunder drums for our mother. Stars shoot across the sky leaving trails of fire. The moons white face appears, a coyote�s howl admires. I close my eyes in peaceful sleep, visions dance before me. I gather with the spirits as they bring new life I�ll see. This my final dream, the pain no longer throbs. Mourners gather round me, I listen to their sobs. Go my child I whisper, her mind reads my thoughts. Think of good and smile, rejoice in what I�ve brought. I rest on boughs above the earth, my weathered bow beside me. My shield hangs on the pole painted with my deeds. I am your protector now, look to me for guidance. Teach our children red from wrong, wisdom, and abidance. Travel light the road is long, worldly goods a hinder. When days lose numbers join us, complete the circle as a member. Vision Quest � 2002 T Lovett |
