MYSTIC WINDS
Vision Elder
Speaks of peaceful passing
Undaunted
Shaman child
Borne on mystic winds
Loves enduring gift
Stunning Chippewa maiden
Lays down her hair
Dancing candle lumen
Enjoined breath spirit
From a gentle kiss
Sacred journey
Crystal absolution
Ghost of the rising sun
Screams in deafening silence
Haunting death song
Mourns her fallen brave
Weeping Seraph
Heartaches salty tear
Slowly trickles
Her soul cries for redemption
Sweet reconciliation
Whispers in blessed celebration
Reunited at last
Her eyes firmly transfixed
On his shimmering apparition
