*****Message of the Wind*****


Sometimes I walk along the path
Feeling naked and all alone
Only myself and Grandmother
Among the rocks of stone.


Only one can help me find
The answers that I seek
So on the wind's breath
To Grandmother I speak


Help me Oh Mother of All
I cry like the loon
My spirit is as bleek
As a night without the moon


As I moan about my misfortunes
And whimper an ugly sound
I fail to see the wonders
Grandmother spread upon the ground


I close my eyes to the beauty
She placed along the way
Seeing only the rose's thorns
Not the buds that'll bloom today


A whisper on the wind
I hear calling to me
A soft gentle voice
Blowing through the trees.


Happiness will warm the soul
But it must come from within
This is the message
Sent to me upon the wind
