Reachin’

Far back

Centuries ago

There I was

Sitting amongst my kins

A fire surrounding

Herbs dragged in

Stories of our past brought forward

Memories of our way recounted

 

I was alive

Burning with flames

Listening to drum beats

Wild beasts announcing the circle moon

 

I was alive

Breathing air

Growing with my people’s spirit

Up I stood and a dance ensued

 

An uprising, uprising

Rising with the fire

Souls lit with a smile

My people, all there in peace
