Healer, Warrior, Leader
He is a Soul Reader
Bright silence, quiet light
Smoke rising into the night
His feathered headdress quivers
His ancestors cry rivers
Rhythmic beating of the drum
A fierce ritual, yet glum
The fires flames dance in faces
Along bronzed bodies, traces
its warm orange flicker and glow
Their savage stomps, like hooves, grow
louder, incessant, prouder
While chanting incantations
Bare feet pound remonstrations
In the distance wolves howling
They sense enemies prowling
The noise reaching its peak
Now wisdom flows like a creek
The moon and the stars speak
Deep, sacred connection
The earth's soul reflection
