I walk the good red earth of Arizona
I feel every rock as if it were a heartbeat.
However it is..
For it is Mother Earth.
She is our Life
She is the very Soul of our Existence.
I look down from the mountains and feel the beauty of every
Turn of the path ahead of me.
I awaken in the dawn of the day
With my prayer and tobacco.
I hold my head high
As I cry in awe of the beauty I spy.
I find so many wonders.
So much beauty in the land
And so close at hand.
I hear the flutes and the drums
I hear the whisper of the ancestors.
I cannot make out what they say.
I know they call me to something
I am so unsure of.
Help me Creator
Hold me to your Breast when I am scared.
Hold me when I am feeling so alone.
Wipe away my tears and my fears.
Show me the Path is clear and full of Life.
The wolf Cries out in the night.
For its mate..
Whom has gone astray.
Maybe in death from another preditor.
Maybe in death from old age.
The owl flies swiftly through the night.
The sound of the wind through his wings
Is all that can be heard.
Only by those with keen ears.
The coyote howls in the night at the full moon.
Grandmother Moon looks down upon us in protection.
The Stars twinkle in the night and remind us
We are all so small yet we can make a difference to light the way
For our people
I hear the words of the song
Yet not sure what they mean.
I know that they are important.
I have so much passion in my life
Yet am not sure what to do with it.
I want to Cry
I want to laugh out loud again
I want to be happy and to love
But those things only come in HIS time.
I have learned many lessons in these few months.
I want to share my knowledge
I want to share my life with someone
But they must truly love me for whom I am
They must love what and whom I am
What I stand for and stand against
We are the People of the Stars.
We are the People of the Sky.
We can fly above all the hatred
We can soar above all evil
We must stand for what is right
We must stand up for Mother Earth and her children
We must help her before she has seizure and dies.
The words are familiar yet in another language
The music is soothing to my soul.
It is all the solice I have in my life now.
The children must survive.
We must help our people to survive and prosper.
We must gather the herbs and the seeds to grow
When there is none.
We must prepare the teas and the medicines to help others to live
For they will come to us
As we are the ones with the knowledge
Our knowledge is from the ancestors.
They guide us now
For the destructive path the whiteman is on
Will soon be upon us
We must survive to teach others we are the ones
We can help and heal them
The star people predicted this path we are on now.
Yo wey ho yo wey ho way ho
Aho
