Autumn's Song

We gather under a sprawling oak
with the spirit of buffalo, deer and elk
a song in our drums, hope in our hearts

what do you wish to harvest in autumn

 the fall equinox,  a time of alignment
contemplating what no longer serves
struggling between darkness and light

 what bulbs of thought do you wish to plant

 tinted leaves gently fall to autumn's song
on the branch of transformation
a choir of tree sparrows sit
where have all the red breasted robins gone

 what poems will you write under starlight

Orion the hunter watches from the sky
a string of pearls and a mighty sword
will he ever conquer the mystical beast

what ancient songs will your tongue chant

 around the roaring flame, we beat as one
spirit of the fire carry me to my home
spirit of the wind carry me to my home
spirit of the water carry me to my home

 what dreams do you wish to evolve

 somewhere beyond the wondrous stars
there's a dream seed that burns in the night
growing wings, lifting off into flight

 

Thank you for visiting

may you find peace in a season of change
