loving you
is like starlight dancing with ocean
and flying hummingbirds shimmering
flavors,
painting my day with joy
*
my journey to the great lakes
fresh water ocean of Turtle Island
meandered with streams of
inner-connecting weaving
flavoring senses of belonging
to water, earth, air, light
and all relations
*
there were saids and songs
and voices of heart stretched drums
from the next generations fires
from the next generations fires
shakers seeding sparks
of living resilience
*
water gives life,
spirit gives light,
wind gives voice,
earth gives form,
beauty and life,
living lovers
dreaming dreams
into woven tapestriesof living realities
*
Some say "it's not over till the fat lady sings".
So much gratitude for gramma's sharing big bundles.
So much gratitude for youth who gather seeds.

May the Spirit of Sacred Stones
Spark Protecting the Sacred Waters of Taos,
the Great Lake Fresh Water Birthing Oceans,
and all the Water Veins that inter-connect us
with Turtle Island and all relations.
