True Warrior Spirits
True warrior spirits take pride in preserving life
noble wills burning silent like a candle vigil
shape shifting orbs of light
compassionate protectors of
the weak and the innocent
like chasing lightning on horse back
the rumble of hooves upon the earth,
above the sheer crackle of energy
the true warrior spirits travel atop the clouds
for all the blood shed upon the earth
true warrior spirits shed their tears,
the ground upon which the woman prays
and which the medicine man dances his praise,
the elders look on sharp eyed, awaiting, like nesting hawks.
The young men and woman suffering
disease anxiety drug abuse depression
addiction alcoholism dependency
the fury of minds trapped within the winds of nature
the cats who feed without a bowl
the epic tales of struggle and self sacrifice
immortal myths monsters and miracles
the unyielding hearts surviving such unbearable harsh conditions
peace upon the return of a savior, long journey home and the
unveiling of the great creator
the moon the stars the night shadows
the chills dancing in the wind
poetic justice for all those killed
strength to rise above fear for
to the children of the wounded
comfort for those descendents of the dead
fireside legends passed down, great leaders,
shepherds of holiness emerging from under the thunder cloud.
The immortal art of death veiled by the gown of the day
Blake angels placing prayer flags in a tree, below which two bulls openly converse
common ground for doting parents and loving neighbors
mothers, fathers, children
all lovers are to be honored
all are great who love within the light
evergreen ceremonies flowered wreathes and purple ribbons
