Black birds fly,
raven's sing,
there's ash on
the window sill
red bird's wing,
feathers white,
time slows down
as we pass by
salmon swim,
black bears cry,
as slowly
she closes her eyes
nighttime falls,
red wolves howl,
way up on
the mountain peak
fragile bones,
fallen trees,
a hundred years of sleep
someday you
may just find
a woman king,
a hundred years of peace.
