Look toward our ancestors time where wisdom lies
and look into the now where wisdom is disguised
we once held the knowledge within our hands
but now the knowledge falls through your fingers like sand
look toward ourselves to see where the hidden key eludes us
lost treasures are hidden deeply underneath, what a muss
echoing cries of hopelessness forms an endless entwining river
despair raging out from those who walked long ago, causes a shiver
we’ve journeyed down the hard paths life tends to throw across your feet
our arrogance led us down a destructive path nearly destroying ourselves
life lessons echo from the past, hitting ears, unable to penetrate the barrier
don’t be afraid to hear the spirits of your ancestors’ carried on strong zephyr’s
true, thou must walk one’s own path and learn one’s own lessons
look to thy side, see who walks beside, through the rough patches on thy path answer keys are deeply hidden within thy spirit being awaiting to be awoken
shapes slowly emerges before thy eye lids forming new found wisdom
eluded key now takes shape, will thee grasp the key or let it fall forever
for we are the writer’s of our destiny and that of Mother Earth’s.

Thou eyes closed, breathing in the experiences of thou journey
along this path thou leaves behind milestones in deepened footprints
lurking in the darkness around every cornerstone, was an old companion, fear
whispering winds hit upon thou time worn ears,
life is not without the light and dark sides attached to us,
tears of pain filled the rivers, cries for help echoed upon zephyrs
thou screams, oh Great Spirit, thy people cried thousands tears
making a thousand rivers over our dead who died due to fear,
thou has let a four letter word taken root within thy being,
thou does not know what thou should do, oh Great Spirit, guide thee
if thou gives into thy fear and thou enemy is now thou master
shouted like thunder in thy ears, but thou must have revenge
then thou becomes thou’s own enemy and thou becomes crippled
thou enemy must be punished, for thy people, Great Spirit
crush thy fear from within, starve thou enemy from its fuel
thou shall punish thy enemy, thee needs to heal thy people
help them grow strong, not allowing thy enemy to paralyze thy people
show thy enemy no fear, no anger, and stand above thou enemy
starve thou enemy from its fuel and thy enemy dies, Great Spirit’s words echoed off
thou is right, Great Spirit, healing of thy people outweighs vengeance.

Great Spirit in the sky
spirits around me
spirit within me, hear thy prayer
this journey’s long and hard
thou still has a long way to go
thou knows how busy thy being is
and appreciates thou, more than thee knows
thou asks for the dream-maker cometh forth
sprinkle thou dream dust across thy path, help thy dream be born
for thee cannot breath life into thy dream alone
come dream-maker, let thee hear thou chant
as thou continues thy journey, a voice whispers on the wind
believe with thy heart
believe with thy spirit
believe with thy mind and thy dream will come to be born
falling dust hits thy bare feet as the wind begins to die
it whispers with it’s last breath, now it is in thou hands
thank thee, dream-maker, thou heard thy prayer chant.
