SPIRITUAL

If you’re looking for your centre
– Here I am –
Grab your braid, come in
You need a song, a voice, a hand
– Here I am –
All you have
To hold you up, is this land
Feel it, your sweat will, quench it
These heated stones, know more than you
Find comfort here, inside of you
– Here I am –
Again, in my grandma’s seat, I hear her heart echoing in this drum beat
I am a child again, I imagine
– Here I am –
Where for I searched, so far from you
Walking away was the easiest most difficult thing I could ever do
And I did, where for I searched, like a fool
Somehow I fear this will disappear like they–
Nay, we do
But I must not wish that cool air in, the fire keeper pats down the edges again Focus on your prayers, the songs, control your thoughts, it’s time now
To remember what you forgot
– Here I am –
Willow branches bent
Blankets set
Squeeze in, see the light fade as they shut the door
– Here I am –
My spirit yearns for nothing more.
