The sky is my sister | |
As is the wind. | |
I look up to see | |
My brother hawk, | My brother hawk, |
Soaring and floating | Soaring and floating |
On invisible waves | |
I wonder what | |
He sees | |
Through his eyes | |
A patchwork quilt, | |
Of forests and fields. | |
With ribbons of blue | |
Intertwined with green. | |
High caps of snow | |
Sheltering his | Sheltering his |
Brothers and sisters | Brothers and sisters |
From winters cold. | |
Remembering times | Remembering times |
Long ago | Long ago |
When people understood | |
That the earth and sky are one | |
And are part of the circle | |
Of all living things. | Of all living things. |
The sky is my sister, | |
As is the moon | |
Brother hawk is still soaring, | |
In the silence of the night. | |
No one seems to know |
He's there. | |
Yet he is. | Yet he is. |
I wonder what he wonders | |
Does he dream of times | |
Long ago. | |
Of fish in clear streams? | Of fish in clear streams? |
Of storms | |
Yet to come | |
Brother hawk | |
Has always been, | |
A wonderment to me. | A wonderment to me. |
