THE DREAM SONG

 

Walking up-hill

Feeling the blood-beat

Indian energy

Earth fire

 

My song is like an arrow

I shoot into the sky

My stone it is that arrow’s heart

With wings it longs to fly.

 

My song is light with laughter

My song is filled with pain

I sing it to the universe

It falls to earth as rain.

 

My song it is my true name

The name that knows no fear

I speak that name to know One

And when it calls I hear.

 

It draws me to the mountain’s top

And when I’ve settled there

I sleep amid the raining drops

To wake washed free and bare.
