This is the true story of the way
My imaginary circle began this day
My soul was seeking the light
Cold and shivering in the night
This path was meant to be
My spirit like the wind was free
Tears of sadness ran down my face
Depression crept around my space
Alone my soul wandered in time
My mind trying to find the rhyme
I am strong enough to follow this choice
I sat quietly listening for the voice
My human being crying in pain
Screaming what do I have to gain
I prayed in earnest for the sight
Of an eagle to journey within flight
Rising above this place called earth
I searched the darkness for my rebirth
Clouds parted I could begin to see
The moon in mystery speaking to me
Like the beautiful petals of a flower
I started to feel my own power
New blood coursed through my veins
The great spirit easing my strain
No longer a man who walks this land
I now stand a warrior in full command
My soul intertwined in a new love
Honored in wisdom from above
My soul seeks beauty on this earth
I thank the great spirit for my rebirth
For within my imaginary circle of space
I found the innocence of my own grace
As a warrior I will forever behold
The truth of my own soul
Written 2009 for a friend who went on a 4 day journey in the wilderness to find his soul.Β Β This poem is his native name given to him later on his journey.
