...

fall on your knees,
hear her/our ancestral voices ...

step through your doorway,
into our sacred garden wonderverse.

our family, predecessors, mother-stars ...
shining through us, singing our pathway ...

gentlest life voyage of growing, knowing,
songbird's voice WE give forth to the dawn,
and tears,

for all our sacred relations
