Gather

tell me silence

so I can know

burn me fire

and in your glow

the whispering wind

will let me show

endless nights

bring us close

but in the day

we will go

summers life

is at its end

autumns death

now here begins

so let us not

sleep through the cold

but work to live

keep close whats told

from mothers breast

and fathers hand

we’ve been given

to this land

coyotes yell

will tell us still

and eagles scream

hard and shrill

she is not ours

to keep or ****

but we are hers

with love to fill
