Come Home Great Wind
your absence saddens
the hearts of many people
we no longer
share the blessed
abundance with you
at the dinner table
the bread of our lives
has grown stale
the rooms of our house are
bereft of your laughter
the music of your
voice fails to adorn
our ears
your songs of
happiness have
evaporated from
the air
your beautiful smile
no longer lights the
dim hours of the day
your certain friendship
is a sharp loss for all who
who trust in your love
there is a great gap
in the hearts
of those that love you
all are crestfallen
that you are not
among us
Feeds Us with Maize
fills her serving bowls
with tears of anguish
Blue Fox swims
across oceans in the
search for you
Little Feather
soars with heartache
in his flight to find you
Lighter than Air
leaps atop
the worlds
greatest peaks
hoping to discover
the crag you may
have fallen into
Clouds cover
the keen vision
of Moon Eyes
he detects no
sight of you
Startled Bear
traverses endless
roads seeking you
all he finds is the
emptiness of
his heart
Sweetpea waits
by the door, hoping
you’ll soon step
across the portal
of a loving sanctuary
Dearest Great Wind
we know your benevolent
spirit is large, your selfless heart
open and eager to care for the
Good Earth and
all God’s Children
when you have
finished filling
the sails of
bold schooners
traversing great lakes
when you have swept
the streets of leaves
marking the march
of a new season
when your exertions
have melted the
snow of winters
hardships
when you have completed
scattering seeds across
the Great Plains so we may
sow next seasons bounty
when you have filled
the lungs of a newborn
with a first blessed breath
or anointed the infirmity
of the aged with a tender touch
when your compassion has
kissed the fevered forehead
of a homeless mother and
nurtured her children
with a gentle breeze
when you have filled the trumpets
hailing righteous justice and
alighted the soothing flutes
with a healing balm
come home Great Wind
we know you are at
home in everyplace
you travel
every village and tribe
welcomes you as a
beloved sister
we ask you to return
to your ancestral home
where you grew
into the loving presence
you are today….
fill our banners
with the pop of joy again
ring the wind chimes
with the echo of your presence
fill our hearts with
the melodious love
of your songs
your bed is prepared
a wholesome meal awaits
Sweetpea remains
vigilant in her watch
the family circle
waits to embrace
you again
Great Spirit
if it be your will
align her compass
to direct her home
steer the weather vanes
to the cardinal points
to show her the way
Come Home Great Wind….
