Fire and Light

 Fire
Embers - Flames - Burning
__________

We are part fire, and part dream.
We are the physical mirroring
of Miaheyyun, the Total Universe,
upon this earth, our Mother.
We are here to experience.
We are a movement of a hand within millions of seasons,
a wink of touching within
millions and millions of sun fires.
And we speak with the mirroring of the sun.

~Firedog, Cheyenne

Solstice light
The new birch leaves shine.
The old surge of life defies age,
a woman dances.

High above
the clouds move with grace.
A herd of water buffalo
rides the wind with birds.

I have heard
in the sound of rain,
felt in the touch of rain great dreams
giving birth in dirt.

A man sings
with the harmony
of every living thing. His seed
penetrates the stars.

~Barbara Flaherty
