Yellow Prairie Flower


 
  Familiar songs weaving their way

throughout our lineage -

reminding, healing, and holding

us together.

 

  Singing us stories of survival - saying out loud in the

face of Pure Evil;

”We see you and know your horrors,

but

WE’RE. STILL. HERE”.

 

  Like the sound of my brother

who traveled all the way from Spirit’s world

in his Grandmother’s old canoe

just to put his arm around me

when I was in need.

 

   These songs are the unbreakable ones.

They have made my suffering

into a bow string,

and my body into

a straight and deadly arrow.

and loved Nature as their own

flesh and blood…

and salty tears

of  

rape, molestation, 
addictions, depression,
suicide, incarceration,
domestic abuse, 
abandonment, neglect,

and even black magic;….
