White Buffalo Dreams
Body: In the swirling whiteness,
A dream was sent to me,
I heard the sound of breathing,
Of an animal I could not see.
Then the mist before my eyes,
Slowly drifted away,
And I found myself standing,
In the brightness of the day.
Alone at first upon the plains,
I began to look around,
My heart was beating faster,
When I realised what I had found.
For standing just behind me,
Now looking me straight in the eyes,
Was the biggest whitest buffalo,
Who was not afraid to die.
Slowly he moved towards me,
Then I thought I heard him say,
“You and I are brothers.â€
And then he moved away.
I gave thanks for this dream,
That was sent to me,
Because it showed me who I am,
And what I’m meant to be.
