Sunrise
-------

Gazing at the fire,
Burning by the water
Before he speaks the world around us quiets.

With eyes as sharp as arrows
And turning to the fire
He clears the air and cuts it with a feather.

Many in the circle
Slowly round the fire
When he is gone I want to know him better.

No one is forsaken
No one is a liar,
He plants the tree of life on our foreheads
With water.

He hums, there are drums,
Four winds, rising suns,
We are singing and praying,
I hear our bodies saying.

I remember breezes
From winds inside your body
Keep me high...
Like I told you,
I'll sing to them this story
And know why.
